Bill > S865

This bill aims to defend, preserve, and promote the stability of housing and neighborhoods in the City of Boston, and maintain diversity in Boston communities, by protecting residential tenants and former homeowners living in their homes post-foreclosure against arbitrary, unreasonable, discriminatory, or retaliatory evictions. It requires landlords and foreclosing owners to provide tenants and former homeowners with a notice of their basic housing rights and resources, including a list of tenants' rights organizations. The bill also establishes just cause eviction protections for former homeowners, and provides remedies for violations, including dismissal of eviction actions. The bill's provisions generally apply to rental units and housing accommodations in Boston, with certain exemptions, and cannot be waived.
