Getting Started - Renting an Apartment in Maine

Your rights and obligations when renting an apartment in Maine are set forth in a lease agreement, but are also bounded by statutory law. For example, the maximum security deposit for an apartment rental in Maine is 2 months rent. And there can be double damages for wrongful rentention of your apartment rental deposit at lease termination. Tenants should be aware of all relevant security deposit and other rental property and possession and eviction laws in Maine.

New: Colder Cheaper Apartments: Effective 9/12/09, a landlord and tenant may enter into an agreement for the landlord to provide heat less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The agreement must be in writing, must be separate from the lease, must state that it is revocable by either party upon reasonable notice, must state a minimum temperature for heat (not less than 62 degrees) and must state a reduction in rent that is fair and reasonable. This ability to contract for a colder, cheaper apartment in Maine does not apply if the apartment is occupied by anyone over 65 or under 5 years of age. 14 M.R.S. 6021(6-A). Commentary & Comments.
