An Act Regarding Legal Representation in Certain Eviction Actions
Sec. 1. 4 MRSA §807, sub-§3, ¶S, as reallocated by RR 2013, c. 1, §7, is amended to read:
This paragraph is repealed September 1, 2016.
SUMMARY
Current law provides that a person who is the sole member of a limited liability company or is a member of a limited liability company that is owned by a married couple or registered domestic partners who is not an attorney may appear in court for that company in an action for forcible entry and detainer. This bill limits the application of this provision of law to an individual. The bill also allows an individual who is not an attorney and who is a member of a limited liability company that is owned by an individual and that individual's issue to appear in court for that company in an action for forcible entry and detainer. The bill also strikes the statutory repeal of the provision.
