Relative to relief in a tenant counterclaim. Housing.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to add two new provisions related to capital relief in a tenant counterclaim. First, it requires a tenant or occupant filing a counterclaim under this section to provide a copy of a bank statement evidencing the deposit of all withheld rents as they became due. Second, it allows any owner, tenant, or occupant to request that the court order the funds identified in the bank statement to be maintained in escrow on terms the court deems equitable.
