Bill > S2623

This bill authorizes the town of Brookline to implement rent stabilization and tenant eviction protections. The key provisions include: 1) allowing the town to regulate rents in multi-family housing, including setting annual maximum rent increases based on the consumer price index; 2) establishing just cause eviction protections that limit when a landlord can evict a tenant; 3) enabling the town to regulate the conversion of residential dwellings to condominiums or cooperatives; and 4) allowing the town to create requirements for tenant notification, relocation plans, and relocation payments when a property is being demolished or substantially renovated. The bill aims to address housing insecurity, rent burden, homelessness, and displacement in Brookline.
