Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Maryland

If you have a recorded judgment but the other party hasn't paid the law provides various means to attach their assets.

A judgment in Maryland is good for 12 years (and you can extend that if need be). Basically you will want to do some post-judgment discovery, petition the court to garnish specific property (such as bank accounts) and then go about garnishing. Maryland law also allows post-judgment interest, which means the landlord should owe you more now than when you got the judgment in 2006. The law does give some "exemptions" from judgment collections and you may not be able to collect anything if the landlord filed for bankruptcy.
