If a landlord in Maine does not return the security deposit within 21-30 days from the move out date, the tenant must provide notice of legal action to the landlord to recover the deposit at least 7 days prior to taking legal actions. Failure to comply constitutes wrongful retaining and the tenant stands to recover double the security deposit in damages, plus legal fees.
