LD 1479: An Act To Protect Senior Homeowners In Home-Sharing Agreements By Providing For An Expedited Eviction Process

LD 1479 creates a faster eviction process for senior homeowners (65 or older) who rent a room in their home through a "home-sharing agreement." The bill defines this as a tenancy where a senior homeowner leases a room to a tenant in their occupied residence. Under the law, landlords must give written notice of the violation, requiring tenants to leave within seven days. If tenants don't vacate, they're treated as trespassers, their belongings are considered abandoned, and landlords can request law enforcement assistance for eviction.
