New Tenancies After May 12 Must Include Notice to Renters About Safe Housing Rights

First Published May 31st, 2023 | Updated June 14th, 2023 Posted in News - 12 Comments

This shows a cropped section of the new state-issued Notice of Occupants’ Legal Rights and Responsibilities against a red background. The section reads: “Your Right to Safe and Healthy Housing and Protection from Retaliation. If you think that conditions in your home are unsafe or unsanitary and may violate the Housing Code, you should contact your local health department. They will conduct free inspections of your home and will order your landlord to fix any violations of the Housing Code. You can find contact information for your local health department by calling your city or town hall or visiting their website. City/town websites are listed at: mass.gov/lists/Massachusetts-city-and-town-websites. Your landlord is not allowed to raise your rent or try to evict you just because you have made a complaint to them or to the local health department about the violations. This is called retaliation, and you may be able to sue the landlord for damages if this happens (M.G.L. c186, s.18 and c.239, s.2A).

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health requires all tenants to be notified about their rights to safe housing; however, as worded, the notice does not benefit landlords or renters.
