Commonly Asked Questions about Massachusetts Rental Agreements

Rent Increases: There is no legal limit to the amount of rent a landlord can charge. However, in order for the rent increase to be valid, the landlord must provide the tenant proper notice of the raise in rent and the tenant must agree to it (signs the lease with the new monthly rent).
A Tenant at Will is one who occupies a rented apartment without a lease, but pays rent periodically (typically monthly). Either the landlord or the tenant may terminate this arrangement at any time by giving written notice of 30 days or one full rental period in advance, whichever is longer. No reason is required.
Physical move out To physically remove the tenant from your apartment, you must hire a constable and a moving company, if the tenant has refused your request to go. The constable must give the tenant 48 hours notice that s/he is coming with the truck.
The most commonly used Massachusetts lease agreement is the Standard Form of Lease. This document covers essential details such as rent amount, lease duration, security deposit, maintenance responsibilities, property managers, and other crucial provisions.
Generally, a landlord cannot take possession of the rental property, physically remove the tenant or their personal property, or change the locks without going through a court. Depending on the reason for eviction, a landlord must provide the tenant either a 14-Day or 30-day Notice to Quit.
Every rental agreement must have certain terms, and is prohibited from containing certain other terms. The lease must include the name, address, and phone number of the owner, the person responsible for maintenance, and the person to whom the tenant can give copies of formal notices, complaints, or court papers.
A tenancy-at-will can be either oral or written. The landlord or tenant can end a month-to-month tenancy-at-will by giving a written 30 days (minimum) notice to quit that must expire at the end of a rental period. Pay special attention if the notice to quit is given in February, which has less than 30 days.
On average, it would take anywhere between a little over 1 month to more than 1 year for a complete eviction process. Give your tenant a written Notice to Vacate prior to the eviction process. Make sure no mistakes were made in the filing process.
