Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 9-A, § 11-113

Reinstatement

Known as the Maine Consumer Credit Code

The act spans §§ 1–11 (208 sections).

PL 1991, c. 787 (NEW)

1. A consumer who fails to make a timely rental payment but has returned or surrendered the rental property to the merchant within 7 days after missing a payment or within 2 business days of the merchant's request, whichever comes later, may reinstate the agreement without losing any rights or options that exist under the agreement by payment of:

A. All past due rental charges; and

B. Other charges expressly provided in this Article, except any initial administrative fee.

2.

3.

4. A consumer who has returned or surrendered the rental property within the reinstatement period set forth in subsection 1 may reinstate the agreement during a period of not less than 180 days after the date of the missed payment.

5. Nothing in this section prevents a merchant from attempting to repossess property during the reinstatement period, but such a repossession does not affect the consumer's right to reinstate.

6. Upon reinstatement, the merchant shall provide the consumer with the same property or substitute property of comparable quality and condition.
