COVID-19 Maine Eviction & Rental Housing Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Evictions in Maine

If you are not protected by the emergency policies, it’s important to remember that your landlord cannot evict you without first bringing you to court. While Courts in Maine are temporarily closed until May 15^th, landlords can still start the eviction process before this date, and they may also petition the Courts to be able to complete the process even before May 15^th.  Contact Pine Tree Legal for help with the court process.
