[¶ 8] A landlord may terminate a tenancy-at-will by giving the tenant thirty days’ notice of the termination. 14 M.R.S.A. § 6002 (Supp.2004). If a tenant has previously complained about the condition of the property, there may be a presumption that the eviction was commenced in retaliation for those complaints. See 14 M.R.S.A. § 6001(3). If a landlord successfully rebuts this presumption, a writ of possession of the premises may issue. Id.; see also Perreault v. Parker, 490 A.2d 203, 206 (Me.1985).
