High-maintenance, low maintenance, etc.

I often see the expression", "She is high-maintenance."

I also see the expression, "She is low maintenance." (In this case, there is no hyphen between "low" and "maintenance.")

Then, is it English to say, "Somebody is maintenance."?

"? It's English words, but they don't make any sense. Both 'high-maintenance' and 'low-maintenance' frequently occur without the hyphen.
