Maine Condominium Conversion Notice and Tenant Purchase Offer
Maine Condominium Conversion Notice and Tenant Purchase Offer
Before sending: Use this version when the proposed condominium unit remains residential and its boundaries substantially conform to the tenant's current unit. The declarant or other covered seller must give every residential tenant and residential subtenant in possession a conversion notice and the public offering statement at least 120 days before requiring them to vacate because of the conversion. Give the tenant's purchase offer with this notice. Hand-deliver the notice and offering statement to the unit or send them by prepaid U.S. mail to each tenant and subtenant at the unit or another mailing address the tenant supplied. Check any more protective municipal rule. This paper does not itself end a lease or demand possession by a particular date.

Notice of conversion and occupancy rights
The declarant intends to convert the building identified above to a condominium. The enclosed public offering statement describes the proposed condominium. This notice informs each tenant and residential subtenant in possession of that conversion and of the rights below under 33 M.R.S. § 1604-111.
A tenant or residential subtenant cannot be required by the declarant to vacate on less than 120 days' notice because of the conversion. The statute permits an earlier required vacancy for nonpayment of rent, waste, or conduct disturbing other tenants' peaceful enjoyment of the premises. The terms of the tenancy may not be changed during the 120-day notice period. This notice does not allow the declarant to end an existing lease contrary to that lease's terms. A municipality may provide stronger tenant protections.
If the declarant fails to give the conversion notice required by § 1604-111, that failure is a defense to an action for possession.
No date to vacate is imposed by this notice. Any separate demand for possession or termination notice must comply with the lease, applicable law, and any local rule.

This offer remains open for 60 days after this conversion notice is hand-delivered or mailed.

Legal authority
- 33 M.R.S. § 1604-111(a), (b), (e), (f)
Landlord-tenant paperwork governs who can stay in a property, on what terms, and what happens when something goes wrong. Leases, notices to quit, security deposit demands, and habitability complaints all have state and often city-specific requirements for timing, content, and service. Getting the paperwork right is what makes an eviction actually succeed or a security deposit actually come back, because judges regularly dismiss cases over small procedural mistakes.
