Because of a long-last precedence of strong tenant’s rights, landlords is Massachusetts must be cognizant of the laws and must address them from the very outset. A written agreement is almost a requirement in this day and age and it is important that the Agreement is tailored to the particular situation and written specifically for the laws of the Commonwealth.
The laws are designed to protect tenants, even though the landlord owns the property. In order to adequately protect his property and guard against liability, the Landlord must be aware of the intricacies of the law to avoid costly fines, property damage, and/or holdover tenants.
