Maine Early termination (DV/military)

Can a tenant break a lease early for domestic violence or military service in Maine?

A victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking may end a lease early. For leases under one year, 7 days' written notice plus documentation is required. For longer leases, 30 days' written notice is required. A tenant who is the victim of sexual harassment by the landlord or the landlord's agent may terminate the lease the same way, with documentation (§ 6001(6)(D-1)).
