Maine Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with Maine as the governing state. These are the Maine landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
Maine rules at a glance
| Lead-based paint | Federal lead warning and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d), plus Maine’s own lead-hazard rules (§6030-B). |
|---|---|
| Landlord entry | Reasonable notice; 24 hours presumed reasonable14 M.R.S. §6025 |
Landlord entry & access
Except in an emergency or where it’s impracticable, a Maine landlord must give reasonable notice of the intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times; 24 hours is presumed reasonable absent evidence to the contrary (§6025(2)). The tenant can’t unreasonably refuse entry for inspections, repairs, or showings, and can’t change the locks without giving the landlord a duplicate key within 48 hours (§6025(1)).
An unlawful, unreasonable, or harassing entry entitles the tenant to actual damages or $250, whichever is greater (raised from $100 in 2026), plus injunctive relief and attorney fees after a contested hearing (§6025(3)). These rights can’t be waived (§6025(4)).
Required disclosures in Maine
The Maine Attorney General is required to publish and update a model residential lease that complies with current law (§6030-K).
- Total price disclosure — Where the tenant will pay any mandatory or optional recurring fee, the landlord must give a signed, plain-language disclosure of rent, fees, utility costs, and any other charges before the lease is signed — without it the lease is unenforceable (§§6030-J, 6030(4)).
- Radon — Written notice of the most recent radon test date and results, in the state-prescribed form, before the tenant signs or pays a deposit (§6030-D).
- Energy efficiency — A residential energy efficiency disclosure statement for tenants who will pay for an energy supply (§6030-C).
- Smoking policy — Written notice of whether smoking is prohibited, allowed, or allowed in limited areas, with the tenant’s written acknowledgment before signing or paying a deposit (§6030-E).
- Bedbugs — Before renting, disclosure if an adjacent unit is infested or being treated for bedbugs (§6021-A(2)(D)).
- Lead-based paint — Federal lead warning and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d), plus Maine’s own lead-hazard rules (§6030-B).
