Supreme Court of Maryland
Ft. Detrick/W. Reed Army Med. Housing v. Wynn
June 23, 2026
Summary
The court held that the landlord failed to prove that the United States had accepted exclusive jurisdiction over the property under the Enclave Clause and applicable federal law. Because the landlord therefore failed to establish exemption from Montgomery County's rental-licensing requirements, it could not maintain the summary ejectment action. The court affirmed the circuit court's judgment in favor of the tenant on grounds different from those relied on below.
