Maine LD1344 mandates swift investigation and remediation of nonsurface mold complaints in tenant-occupied dwellings.
Maine LD1344 establishes that an unhealthy level of nonsurface mold in a tenant-occupied dwelling unit constitutes a breach of the implied warranty and covenant of habitability. Upon receiving a tenant's complaint, a local health officer must investigate and issue a written report within a specified timeframe. If the report confirms an unhealthy level of nonsurface mold, the landlord must initiate remediation within business days. The local health officer is also required to verify that all surface mold has been remediated after the nonsurface mold is removed.
