The law limits the amount of security deposits. o Until July 1, 2024, the limit is two times the monthly rent (or, for furnished units, three times the rent). o After July 1, 2024, the limit is one months rent.
Maximum security deposit. A lease or tenancy at will agreement for a dwelling intended for human habitation may not require a security deposit equivalent to more than the rent for 2 months.
Security deposits should be listed on a closing statement as a credit to the Buyer. This represents the buyer receiving the funds back as they fulfill their contractual obligations.
As per law, the landlord can deduct arrears or major repair expenses from the security deposit before refunding the rest to the tenant. Tenants cannot claim a security deposit refund in cases of rent agreement renewal. The refund amount is only returned if the tenant vacates premises after tenure expiry.
In Maine, landlords can request a security deposit from tenants, but the amount cannot exceed two months rent. Upon the end of the tenancy, the landlord is required to return the security deposit within 30 days after the lease ends, or 21 days for at-will tenants, unless otherwise specified in a written agreement.
