State model lease for renters and landlords
The law requires the Attorney General to create a model residential lease that follows current Maine law, including all required disclosures and attachments. By December 1, 2025, the Attorney General must post the model lease on the Attorney General’s public website. The office updates and reposts it every two years by December 1 of odd-numbered years. The office carries this out using existing staff and money; the law provides no new funding. Landlords and tenants can download and use it as a template.
