Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
Military Purchase Option
We must vacate so landlord can sell home to govt by 3/31. We offered to vacate by 2/28, 5 days prior to 30 day month-to-month lease.
They insist they must show home to buyers as part of the military agreement and we must avail ourselves and/or home to realtor.
Do we have any rights as tenants, to refuse to let them show the property? Would we be justified in saying this is an infrigement on our rights as tenants because we are still within our 30-days? Is there an exsisting law that supports possession of a tenant (based on month-to-month lease)superceeding any owner's rights? Is there a ''loophole'' law pertaining to civil rights that allows consideration to tenants in circumstances such as these?

Re: Military Purchase Option
I hope I state your question correctly when I say: You do not think the landlord can bring viewers to show them the premises you are legally occupying via written lease as long as you are still residing there. Most leases have that provision in the text, that the landlord may show the premises to potential buyers or renters and you agree to give permission, provided it is done at reasonable hours and you have prior notice. Read you lease. If it is not there then you are right, without your express consent and permission they can't come trotting through you house.
