Maine Sample Letter for Waiver of Landlord's Claim to Annexed Fixtures [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Waiver of Landlord's Claim to Annexed Fixtures Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request a waiver of your claim to the annexed fixtures on the premises of [Property Address]. As a responsible and considerate tenant, I believe it is important to address this matter in a timely and transparent manner. First and foremost, it is crucial to clarify what encompasses "annexed fixtures." According to Maine law, annexed fixtures within rented premises refer to any permanent improvements or additions made to the property that cannot be removed without causing substantial damage to the premises. These fixtures become part of the property and are generally owned by the landlord unless otherwise agreed upon. As per our lease agreement dated [Lease Start Date], it explicitly states that any fixtures added by the tenant become the property of the landlord unless a waiver is requested and granted. However, considering the unique circumstances and improvements I have made, I am kindly asking for an exception to this provision. The fixtures in question primarily consist of [describe the specific fixtures, e.g., built-in bookshelves, custom light fixtures, etc.]. These fixtures were installed at my expense to enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and value of the property. I have meticulously maintained these fixtures, and they have significantly improved my living experience during my tenancy. Moreover, it is important to note that the annexed fixtures installed do not alter the original condition or structure of the property. They can be easily removed without causing any damage or alterations to the premises. I assure you that upon my departure from the property, I will restore the premises to its original state, taking care to fix any wall penetrations or related work required. To further assure you of my accountability, I am enclosing a comprehensive inventory list of the annexed fixtures, providing detailed descriptions and estimated market values. This inventory will serve as evidence of the value and nature of these fixtures and will facilitate our mutual understanding. I kindly request your consideration in granting this waiver to recognize the improvements made during my tenancy and to ensure a fair resolution. I believe that allowing me to retain ownership of these fixtures is reasonable, especially given their nature and the meticulous care I have put into maintaining them. Please review this request at your earliest convenience and provide a written response reflecting your decision. Should you require any additional information or clarification, I am readily available to discuss this matter further. You can reach me at the contact information provided above. Thank you for your attention and understanding. I look forward to resolving this matter amicably and maintaining a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
