Home Construction and Repair

Here you will find information on issues related to the construction or repair of your home. In Maine, general contractors - and trades such as roofing and framing - are not licensed or regulated. This can be a surprise, particularly for newcomers who are used to living in states with strict regulatory regimes. We urge consumers to do a lot of research before choosing a contractor to build or repair your home.

Tenant Rights

Here you will find the rights and protections provided by Maine law to tenants. Topics include application fees, security deposits, bedbugs, evictions, and more. Please see our housing topic for more information, such as model residential leases and mobile home parks.
