Maine Month-to-Month Lease Agreement

A Maine month-to-month rental agreement (also known as a tenancy at will) allows a landlord to continuously rent a property to a tenant until one of the parties cancels. The landlord should collect the tenant's information with a rental application and require a security deposit at the time of executing the lease.
