Expert Legal Counsel for Landlords and Tenants

Landlord-tenant disputes can arise from a wide range of issues, often involving disagreements over rent payments, property maintenance, lease violations, security deposit returns, or eviction actions. Tenants may allege that a landlord failed to maintain habitable living conditions, wrongfully withheld a security deposit, or entered the rental property without proper notice. Conversely, landlords may seek to evict tenants for non-payment of rent, causing damage to the property, or violating the terms of the lease. 

In Massachusetts, landlord-tenant disputes are typically resolved through the Housing Court or District Court system. The legal process generally begins with a written notice, such as a notice to quit or a demand for unpaid rent, followed by the filing of a complaint with the court if the issue remains unresolved. Both parties then have the opportunity to present evidence and arguments before a judge. Massachusetts law imposes specific procedural requirements and deadlines that must be followed, particularly in eviction cases, so understanding and complying with these rules is critical to protecting your rights.
