Who We are
After acquiring a struggling rent court company, Darlyn McLaughlin and Michele Williams consolidated their resources in March 2018 to establish MarylandRentCourt.com (MRC). They brought on the staff from the previous company and identified several areas for improvement. Darlyn and Michele inspired the team to enhance their performance through better communication, increased accountability, and a commitment to integrity. Within three months, MRC had become a valuable resource for landlords.
MRC has been proactive in assisting landlords with tenant issues and eviction actions. Many of our customers come to MRC in distressed situations, often unsure of how to proceed. Recognizing a crucial demand where landlords struggled to understand the District Court system’s practices, MRC designed and developed progressive, customized software tailored to meet those needs. From the start, we committed ourselves to providing unique features and capabilities that ensure high-quality assistance to our clients. We take the time to explain the entire process and outline the steps involved in filing a Notice of Intent to File, Failure to Pay Rent, Warrant of Restitution, Eviction Notification, and Eviction Stand-ins (meeting the sheriff on eviction day). We also assist landlords in understanding our software, entering property information, and submitting all necessary documents for each property. The uploaded records are very important and necessary for obtaining a judgment on the landlord’s part. To alleviate the landlord’s stress and provide peace of mind, MRC manages the process from start to finish.
Our team, with over 75 years of combined experience in legal services, civil and criminal law, accounting, and administrative skills, is adept at effectively liaising between landlords and tenants. We also encourage tenants to vacate the premises before any legal action begins, helping landlords avoid the lengthy and complex litigation process.
MRC is a fully certified, women-owned collection agency that is licensed, insured, and bonded. We are dedicated to maintaining dignity, integrity, and honesty in all our business relationships.

This is a note of appreciation to acknowledge Marcia for her great technical and customer service support. Yesterday, we called about a tenant we are evicting. Marcia answered the phone. She quickly looked up the account, gave us details and corrected the amount that was charged in error.
You may say well that’s her job. However, Marcia goes above and beyond.
She reviewed our ledgers carefully and then walked us through the office system. She took time out from her extremely busy day to technically show us specially what the judge looks at and what’s needed in the court ledger. Marcia made us feel like we were her only client. We knew she had at least 100 if not more in line to talk to her. Marcia is patient, kind, and knows her stuff. Her mental equanimity coupled with her freshness of approach goes unmatched. She is a true asset with a wealth of knowledge when it comes to relevant landlord tenant issues. We are fortunate that she picked up the phone among the myriad of other duties as assigned. Ms. Marcia is the real deal. She is a champion of our needs and true professional at MarylandRentCourt.com.

I want to personally say THANK YOU to Dana and Darlyn for assisting me with removing an individual from my property. Unfamiliar with how the process worked, Dana and Darlyn walked me through each step from start to finish and assured me that this would be handled. Needless to say, I won the case and the situation is finally over.
