In Massachusetts, landlords can raise rent by any amount because theres no legal rent cap. Since 1994, the state has not imposed any limits on rent increases, allowing landlords to adjust prices based on inflation, property maintenance, and market conditions.
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.
Your Landlords Responsibilities Give you written receipts. Give you a statement that describes the condition of your apartment, if they take a security deposit. Keep your security deposit in a separate bank account in Massachusetts. Pay you interest every year on both your security deposit and last months rent.
It is illegal for a landlord to ask you about your race, religion, age, sexual preference, or whether you have children or are pregnant.
Beginning today, August 1, the new law explicitly prohibits real estate professionals from charging tenants broker fees for services that are primarily provided to a landlord. Hence, under updated state law, brokers and salespersons are prohibited from requiring tenants to pay for services provided to their landlord.
