AI Summary

This bill aims to provide rental protections for elderly, disabled, and low-to-middle income tenants in Massachusetts. It allows these tenants to terminate their rental agreements or tenancy without penalty if they are accepted for admission to certain types of housing, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or age-restricted housing. The bill also prohibits property owners from refusing to rent to these tenants based on their terminated agreement, and gives the courts the authority to enforce these provisions. The Department of Housing and Community Development is tasked with implementing and regulating this new law.
