See also Code, Tax--Property Article, §§ 14-836 and 14-837 governing parties to the action. For purchaser's obligations once a complaint has been filed, see Scheve v. Shudder, Inc., 328 Md. 363 (1992). See Code, Real Property Article, § 7-113 (c)(1) for an alternate method to take possession of residential real property when the person claiming a right to possession of the property by the terms of a foreclosure sale or court order does not have a court-ordered writ of possession executed by a sheriff or constable.
Source: This Rule is new but is consistent with Code, Tax--Property Article, §§ 14-835 and 14-838 and is derived in part from Code, Tax--Property Article, §§ 14-840 and 14-836.
