A 30 day eviction notice was given to a tenant. The rent has not been paid and is overdue what is the recourse the landlord can take?

Wait the 30 days then file in court to evict.
In my town if rent is past due. I post a 3 day notice to pay or quit. After maybe 5 days if rent is not paid. I then pay the filing fee at the court to start the court hearing. It takes about 30 day for the tenant to be removed by the sheriff if they don't move on there own. Of course the T can argue their case in court and depending on the judge. It can take a bit longer to get the T out.

IS it an actual eviction notice from the court or is it a 30 day notice to vacate? Did they pay lasts months rent with their deposit? Did you give them the crusher letter? Did you inform them of the actual process for moving out and getting back their full deposit if possible?

I'm from Iowa, so I don't know the Maine LL/T laws. Have YOU read those laws? Are you sure it was a 30 day notice, and not a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit(move) ? If iot was a 30 day notice, that would be a termination of the lease, which is NOT considered an EVICTION notice, in legal language. Anyhow, the LL must take the T to court, if the T does not pay the rent, or move. It can take 30 days to get into court, and then a judge decides who wins. If the LL has done everything correctly, he will probably win the eviction case. Then the LL can set up a date to have the T forcefully removed from the property (usually 1-2 weeks after the court date. If the T loses in court, they will have a eviction on the record--PERMANENTLY! The T will find it VERY hard to be able to rent another place in the next 5 year with that on their record. My suggestion to the T-----pay the rent , or move, ASAP!

From what I found about Maine, a 7 Day Notice to Pay or Quit is normally what one would give to a tenant to evict them for non-payment of rent. This can be issued 7 days after the payment date has been missed.

It sounds like this is a 30 day notice to terminate a month to month lease.

So, what kind of lease is it, what type of notice was actually given, and when was it given?
