Tenants in Maine have relatively strong protections compared to many states, including the right to safe and habitable housing, privacy with reasonable notice before landlord entry, protection against unlawful or retaliatory eviction, and the timely return of security deposits within legal limits. Landlords must follow formal eviction procedures, comply with lease terms and notice requirements, and maintain the property in accordance with housing standards, with state law providing solid safeguards for tenant rights.
