AI Summary
This bill aims to enable local options for tenant protections in Massachusetts. It allows municipalities to adopt rent stabilization measures, just cause eviction protections, condominium conversion regulations, and other tenant safeguards. The bill provides for fair return standards for property owners and exemptions for owner-occupied landlords and new/recently-constructed housing. It also allows municipalities to regulate tenant deposits, fees, and brokers' fees, and establish anti-displacement zones to protect low-, moderate-, and middle-income households from displacement.
