Maine Late fee grace period

Last reviewed 2026-10-15

Is there a grace period before a late fee can be charged in Maine?

Rent is not late until 15 days after it is due. The late penalty may not exceed 4% of one month's rent, and the tenant must have been told about it in writing when the agreement was made.
