Bill > H3777

This bill establishes permanent eviction protections and tenancy preservation notices. It requires landlords to electronically send copies of any notice to quit for nonpayment of rent to the state's Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development and the chief executive officer of the municipality where the property is located, while keeping personal identifying information confidential. The bill also mandates that courts grant continuances and stays of execution on evictions if the tenant demonstrates a pending application for short-term emergency rental assistance. Additionally, the bill requires regular reporting from the court system and the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities on various eviction-related data points. Finally, the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development is directed to promulgate regulations to implement the provisions of this act.
