Maryland Bans Unsolicited Checks with Home Purchase Offers

Starting October 1, Maryland enacted a law prohibiting unsolicited checks sent alongside home purchase offers to protect homeowners from deceptive marketing by property investors. Consumer advocates warn that vulnerable owners might be misled into agreements by receiving such checks. The law aims to prevent exploitation and advises homeowners not to accept random financial items sent by mail.
