You might offer them enough money to Deed their interest. If there is enough equity, you may have to hire an attorney to file an Action for a Sale for Partition.
Q: Can I withhold rent payment if landlord illegal entry/ without proper notice on commercial lease.
Landlord wants to put up brokers marketing sign in our lease space before our lease term expires. Lease does not have the provision that landlord can enter and put up the sign. Can tenant withhold rent payment or charge landlord for usage of leased property (window) for advertising?

The answer to whether your landlord can put up a broker's marketing sign in your lease space before your lease term expires will likely depend on the language of your lease. It is generally standard for a commercial lease to contain a provision allowing a landlord to do this under certain... Read more »
Q: My current landlord and I resigned the lease but never changed the dates on my copy, is my lease still active?
My copy still has the old dates of 11/1/20 to 11/1/2021. They just had me resign but didn't change any of the dates and it's 15 days early.. is my lease good or does it technically not start yet?

answered on Oct 21, 2021
This question is difficult to answer properly without seeing the lease, but in general, the answer will depend on the intent of the parties in resigning the lease. If you both resigned the lease with the intent to extend the term for the same period, i.e. another year, then your current lease will... Read more »

Q: After eviction for lease expiration, the tenant owes close to $10,000.00; how can landlord claim,track tenant&collect?
My understanding is that small claim court limit is much less than that in Maine. Do I need a lawyer? How much does it roughly cost?
Fred Bopp III
answered on Oct 13, 2021
You are correct about small claims court – the limit is $6,000. If the landlord is an entity, then the general rule is the entity needs to be represented in court by an attorney (it cannot represent itself). If the landlord is a natural person, he or she can represent themselves in court,... Read more »

You say, "the manager made it clear I was not required to . . . pay out the lease (two more months)." If that constituted a binding agreement, then you have no legal obligation to pay any more rent.
Q: I paid ( in full) a year long lease and my landlord died. Can the new owner evict before my paid lease is up?
They have already had a sheriff server everyone in nearby units, but we paid the whole year upfront.
Fred Bopp III
answered on Aug 24, 2021
The answer will depend primarily if not exclusively on the terms of the lease, but the fact that you paid a year's worth of rent upfront may entitle you to remain in the leased property until the end of that period.

You are in a very tenuous situation; you should be looking for a new home for both you and your parents that you can afford. It seems as if you have paid for repairs, but you have not guarantee that you will ever be reimbursed for that. Do you know how much the mortgage payments are? If you are... Read more »

You have not provided enough facts for me to answer your question. For example, do you have a written lease? Did the landlord provide you with a written notice to quit? If so, what did it say?

I do not know what "M.P.D." means. I would suggest you report this conduct to your local law enforcement agency and see what they can do for you. You could also report it to the town code enforcement officer or other appropriate official. Here is a link to some more information:... Read more »

The question is whether the landlord's use of the garage "renders the dwelling unit unfit for human habitation." If so, "then a tenant may file a complaint against the landlord in the District Court or Superior Court. The complaint shall state that: A. A condition,...

Not to answer your question with a question, but is the original lease term still in effect? If it is, then your landlord should only be able to increase the amount of rent after the lease term expires. As far as how much could your landlord increase the rent, normally, a landlord can set...

You should explain your side of the story to the police. Ask to speak to the Chief, if necessary. Typically, the police will not get involved in civil disputes.

Q: Is the landlord required to put a lien on the deed when you're in a rent to own home in Maine?
The documents that I signed clearly state that I'm responsible for the taxes on my mobile home.

Q: If my at will tenant paid a month's rent. I'm evicting her, (7 day) can i keep rent for damages?

First, Maine law provides: "If a tenant who is 7 days or more in arrears in the payment of rent pays the full amount of rent due before the expiration of the 7-day notice in writing, that notice is void." It sounds like you can no longer evict your tenant, but you can keep the rent she... Read more »
