Maine Month-to-Month Rental Agreement | PDF
A Maine month to month rental agreement is used by a property owner (lessor) and tenant (lessee) seeking an ongoing landlord-tenant relationship. As long as either party does not decide to change or void the agreement, usually with at least thirty (30) days notice, the contract remains valid. To protect the lessor, it is advised that a security deposit of at least one (1) month be required in the chance the lessee decides to vacate the premises or if there is damage left on the property.
Once both parties have authorized the agreement it becomes valid and binding until the end of the term.
