Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
security deposit
my mother died on 6-7-04, I still have not been able to get her security deposit from her lanlord. Do they now owe me interest and how can I make them give me the security deposit. They just do not follow through and do not contact me as they say they will.

Re: security deposit
If you opened an estate for your mother, the estate could file a small claims action against the landlord, but it could be dismissed because there is a 3 year deadline (known as the statute of limitations) for bringing such cases. Under MD law, security deposits are supposed to be held in accounts bearing 4% interest.
