Here are 21 Reasons, we believe that landlords are a central partner in our mission of reducing underage and high-risk drinking. We're working with local owners and property managers to minimize these behaviors, with great results! Reducing underage and high-risk drinking in rental properties can mean…
Decreased risk of property damage, vandalism, parking issues, and littering near around the property.
Decreased risk of noise complaints and designation as a “disorderly house” (see section 6-116 of Portland City Code).
Decreased risk of liability for negligence in the event that injury or death results from tenant behavior.
Safer, more inviting communities and neighborhoods.
With the help of the Southern Maine Landlords Association and Maine's Higher Education Alcohol Prevention Partnership, 21 Reasons has developed resources for landlords and tenants designed to encourage responsible tenancy and reduce underage and high-risk drinking. Please click on the images below for printable resources for landlords, including a checklist with best practices and a brief summary of some relevant state and local laws.
Looking for resources for tenants? Check out digital copies of 21 Reasons' new Tenant Guide (with insert on responsible entertaining), door hanger, and magnet, or contact our office -- we'll do our best to provide you with printed resources.
