The landlord can only seek possession during a fixed term of a tenancy (for example the first six months of a shorthold tenancy) on the grounds shown in italic type. Mandatory grounds - for which the landlord must have advised the tenant in writing before the tenancy began that s/he might be seeking possession: * Your landlord used to live in the house and wants it back (at least two months notice must be given) * The house has been repossessed and the mortgage company need to sell the house with vacant possession (at least two months notice must be given) * Your house is needed for a minister of religion and you were given notice of this when you moved in (at least two months notice must be given) * The tenancy is for a fixed term of not more than eight months and within a year before you moved in the house was let as a holiday home (at least two weeks notice must be given) * The tenancy is for a fixed term of not more than 12 months and within a year of moving in the house was let to students by the place where they were studying and you were given written notice of this before you moved in (at least two weeks notice must be given).

You get your house key(s) whenever you sign the lease. Normally your lease is not prepared until you've worked out your first month's rent and any deposits that are required. In most states the landlord must give you the keys to the front door of your house. If this happens you have the right to change any of the other locks without your landlord's permission, but not the lock of which your landlord gave you the key.

Can a landlord charge tenants based on number of occupants in MD Looking at a 3 bed 2.5 bath house and they want to charge more for any additional occupants over 2?
I don't know if you are under rent control where you live, so check into that first. If not, then the next thing that matters is whether you have signed a lease or rental agreement yet. If you have, then the names listed on the lease may live there, no others, and the landlord cannot change the rent until the term of the lease expires or (something like) 30 days' notice for a month-to-month agreement. If you have not yet signed a lease, the landlord could well be free to ask whatever they want.
