A Maine standard residential lease agreement is a fixed-term arrangement between a landlord and tenant for the renting of property, most commonly for a 1-year period. The landlord will usually collect the tenant’s information, before signing, with a rental application and run a verification of their employment and personal details. After completion and approval, a lease may be signed between the parties.
