Hello ****, Maine law offers protections for tenants undergoing eviction:
- A landlord must have a valid reason for eviction, like not paying rent or violating lease terms.
- You have the right to cure the violation, meaning fixing the issue.
- If you're evicted, your landlord must provide a written notice.
Consider consulting with a local lawyer for specific advice.

Hello ****, if you feel your mental health condition is being used against you, it may be considered discrimination. The Fair Housing Act protects tenants with disabilities, including mental health conditions. I suggest discussing this with your representative at Pine Tree Legal or consider seeking a second opinion.
