An Act To Create A Residential Rental Unit Registry
LD 1806 requires corporations that own or manage residential rental properties in Maine to disclose this activity in their annual reports filed with the Secretary of State. The bill amends existing corporate reporting laws to add a specific question about whether a corporation provides residential rental units, making this information part of the public record. This change applies to all corporations operating as landlords in Maine, including large property management companies. The requirement does not create a new separate database but integrates the disclosure into standard corporate filings.
