RULE 14-504. NOTICE TO PERSONS NOT NAMED AS DEFENDANTS
The plaintiff shall send the notice prescribed by Rule 14-502 (c)(3) to each person having a recorded interest, claim or judgment, or other lien who has not been made a defendant in the proceeding. If all or part of the property is owned by or legally dedicated to a homeowners' association or condominium association, the plaintiff shall also send the notice to the homeowners' association or condominium association governing the property. The notice shall be sent to the person's last reasonably ascertainable address by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, bearing a postmark from the United States Postal Service, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the complaint. The plaintiff shall file the return receipt from the notice or an affidavit that the provisions of this section have been complied with or that the address of the holder of the subordinate interest is not reasonably ascertainable. If the filing is made before final ratification of the sale, failure of a holder of a subordinate interest to receive the notice does not invalidate the sale. The plaintiff shall send notice to each tenant of the property, as required by Code, Tax--Property Article, § 14-836 (b)(4).
