Maine 7-Day Notice to Quit Form | (Non-Payment)

A Maine 7-day notice to quit (non-payment) is a type of form used by landlords when a tenant fails to pay rent. Seven days after the due date, a landlord can serve a notice to quit, which gives the tenant another seven days to pay rent in full or be evicted.

Laws

  • Notice Period: 7 days.[1]
  • Rent Grace Period: 15 days.[2]
  • Maximum Late Fee: Up to 4% of one month’s rent.[3]

Delivery Options

The landlord must make at least three attempts to personally hand-deliver the notice to the tenant. If these are unsuccessful, the notice may be mailed via first-class mail to the tenant’s last known address and posted at the tenant’s dwelling.[4]

Waiver of Landlord’s Right to Terminate

State law does not address what happens if a landlord accepts late or partial rent after serving a notice to quit. It’s not uncommon, however, for courts to void the eviction proceeding if this occurs.
