Waltham: Housing Court – What Does This Change Mean?

View Calendar
10/17/2017 5:30 PM - 10/17/2017 9:00 PM
Best Western (Food by Copper House Tavern)
Address: 380 Winter St, Waltham, MA 02451, USA
 

Administrative Attorney of the Housing Court Ben Adeyinka and Landlord Attorney Jordana Greenman will be joining us for a panel on Housing Court. This Housing Court expansion will change how evictions work!

Attorney Adeyinka will be touching on points like: recent funding that has been granted, expansion into Waltham and surrounding areas, when can landlords file in Housing Court, where the building will be, and whether the court will travel. You won't want to miss this.

Attorney Greenman will be elaborating on points that every manager and owner would benefit from hearing. She'll be focusing on things like: comparing district and housing court, giving tips for landlords about mediation and preparing a case, choice of where to file, and right to transfer.

The legislature has recently funded the expansion of the Housing Court into Waltham and surrounding areas. The Charles River region will be served by the Housing Court probably by early next year. If you're not already aware, the free rent trick is easier to pull in housing court and tenants have absolute right to transfer cases from district to housing court. We think it's imperative that all local landlords come find out what this new Housing Court system looks like and what it means for your business. Don't be the one left in the dark when it comes to legal matters, this meeting will save you time and potentially a lot of money!
