What is the new rent law in Maine?

This situation can be tricky, as accepting rent may be seen as waiving the eviction notice, while declining it could further strain the tenant-landlord relationship. In California, accepting rent after issuing an eviction notice can complicate the eviction process and may require the landlord to restart the process.

What does it mean to default on a rent payment?

Defaulting on a lease means failing to fulfill your responsibilities as outlined in the agreement. This could involve missed rent payments or violating other terms, like subletting without permission. Defaulting on a lease often leads to legal consequences, including eviction.

How long does it take to evict a tenant in Maine?

As of the new year, Maine law now said the landlord must provide disclosure of costs the tenant will be responsible for before signing a lease. They must disclose the total cost of rent, and mandatory and optional recurring fees, any utility service costs and any other costs that will fall onto the tenant.
