Maine Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Maine Landlord Kit, Maine Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Maine: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Maine, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Maine kits are built only from our Maine data files: Maine data files, checked November 2026 against 8 official pages, among them Maine Legislature: Title 14, 6033, Return of the security deposit; Maine Legislature: Title 14, 6032, Limitation on security deposits; Maine Legislature: 14 M.R.S. 6002 (Tenancy at will); Maine Legislature: 14 M.R.S. 6015 (Notice of rent increase); Maine Legislature: 14 M.R.S. Chapter 710 (Rental property); State of Maine Judicial Branch: Evicting a Tenant from a Residence for not Paying Rent; Maine small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Maine Judicial Branch: Small Claims.
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the Maine kits carry the state rules.
