A Maine tenant’s rights include the right to know certain key pieces of information relating to their health or safety before entering into a lease agreement. As such, their landlords are required to disclose information relating to bed bugs, radon, and lead paint prior initiating their tenancy. Maine tenants also have the right to take alternative action against their landlords in limited situations, including (but not limited to) withholding rent and performing a “repair and deduct.”
