What is Electronic Filing for Landlord & Tenant?
Electronic Filing (e-filing) for Landlord Tenant (L&T) cases is a new pilot project being implemented in Prince George’s County District Court. The Prince George’s County District Court selected LexisNexis File & Serve to provide the system through which filings will be made. The system will allow for Landlords and their representatives to file Failure to Pay Rent complaints as well as Warrants of Restitution online from the convenience of their home or office. Additionally any motions and other documentation related to these electronically filed cases may be filed by the Landlord or the Tenant. Why is the court using e-filing? The Prince George’s County District Court was chosen to use e-fling as a pilot project for L&T cases. This is an important part of bringing the State of Maryland and its Court system into the age of information. The purpose is to use technology to provide equal access to justice while allowing the court system to operate more efficiently and effectively. Additio
