420 charsHolding: Maine Supreme Judicial Court reaffirmed the implied warranty of habitability under 14 M.R.S. § 6021. Held that breach of the warranty permits the tenant to abate rent by the difference between fair rental value as warranted and as actually delivered, and to terminate the lease for material noncompliance after written notice. Confirms that § 6021 is non-waivable and applies to all residential leases in Maine.
