Bill Summary
For legislation to provide legal services to small business property owners. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide legal services to small business property owners in Massachusetts. It amends the existing Chapter 221A of the General Laws to define a new category of "qualified small business land owner" (QSBLO) and requires that if a tenant seeking legal assistance against their landlord is deemed eligible, the landlord must also be evaluated for eligibility as a QSBLO. If the landlord is deemed eligible, the tenant cannot receive legal services unless the landlord also receives legal services. The bill also requires the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation to establish guidelines for determining QSBLO eligibility based on income or property loan-to-value ratio.
