§ 8A-3. Vacating execution of warrant.

(a) By Sheriff. If the Sheriff reasonably believes that the landlord did not provide the tenant with the notice required by § 8A-2 of this subtitle, the Sheriff shall notify the District Court and may not execute the warrant of restitution until further order of the Court. (b) By District Court. If the District Court finds that the landlord did not provide the tenant with the notice required by § 8A-2 of this subtitle, the District Court shall vacate the warrant of restitution. (c) Presumption that tenant notified. If the landlord provides a copy of the notice, certificate of mailing, and signed affidavit by the person who posted the property, all of which are dated within the proper time periods required by § 8A-2 of this subtitle, there is a rebuttable presumption that the tenant was notified.
