Relative to consumer rights of renters

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 15B of Chapter 186 of the General Laws to prohibit a landlord or their agent from requiring a tenant to sign a new lease more than three months in advance of the termination date of the current lease. This aims to provide more consumer protections for renters by limiting the timeframe in which they must commit to a new lease agreement.
