AI Summary

This bill aims to enable local options for tenant protections in Massachusetts. It allows municipalities to regulate rent and eviction of tenants in multi-family housing, provide just cause eviction protections, require landlords to provide certain notices to tenants facing eviction, limit rent increases, regulate tenant deposits and fees, and establish anti-displacement zones to protect low- to middle-income residents from displacement. The bill grants municipalities flexibility to implement these measures in a locally appropriate manner.
