Landlord/Tenant Law

Landlord/Tenant Law

Across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, thousands of residents elect to rent their homes, while thousands of others serve as landlords.

When creating or signing into a rental agreement, there are a number of issues that you, whether a landlord or a tenant, should consider.

Landlord-tenant law regulates the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. While state laws primarily govern such relations, federal laws also cover aspects of residential and commercial rentals and leases.
