5 M.R.S. §1784: Rent and fees

In providing a lease under this chapter, the director shall require payment of fees or charges that, at a minimum, cover the costs of utilities, including heat, custodial services and any other costs generated by the lessee. In addition, a monthly rental fee shall be charged to the user which need not necessarily be the current rate charged in the private sector for similar facilities.

1. Provision of services to the State. If the lessee provides services or assistance to the State at no charge or at significantly reduced charges or the lessee provides in-kind contributions, the monthly rental fee may be reduced or waived by mutual agreement of the director and the commissioner or director of the agency of jurisdiction.
