Bill Summary
Relative to advance rent and security deposits. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require tenants or occupants, who are invoking the provisions of Section 8A of Chapter 239 of the General Laws, to deposit with the court clerk or the plaintiff's attorney the amounts due for use and occupancy of the premises, calculated based on the fair market value, if the originally scheduled trial date is continued for any reason. These escrow funds would first go towards any necessary repairs, and the court may schedule an expedited bench trial if the tenant or occupant fails to comply with the deposit order.
