Enabling local options for tenant protections
February 27, 2025
Summary
If enacted, this bill would remove Massachusetts' statewide prohibition on rent control, enabling local municipalities to adopt rent stabilization ordinances, and would establish new tenant and foreclosure protections. Lenders, servicers, and banks would need to adjust foreclosure practices to meet any new procedural requirements, while landlords and tenants would be directly affected by local rent control measures.
