AI Summary

This bill authorizes the city of Boston to regulate rents for certain "governmentally-involved housing" units, which are defined as housing units that are insured, owned, operated, financed, or subsidized by the federal government, state government, or a government authority. The bill also establishes restrictions on when landlords can evict tenants from these units and requires landlords to seek out and accept any available government housing resources that could help maintain affordability. The bill aims to address a serious public housing emergency in Boston by preventing the displacement of low-income individuals and families living in these governmentally-involved housing units.
