Rental Assistance Discrimination Intake

Rental Assistance Discrimination - Household information

  • Hidden
  • Use this form for every household you know that has needed rental assistance, whether or not this assistance was applied for or paid out.

    Enter information about one renter household's experience with rental assistance. Submit multiple times to submit different households. Data will be used as you direct (see radio buttons below) for:

    • Examples in possible litigation MassLandlords may conduct, if you permit;
    • Media appearances, if you permit; or
    • Aggregate statistics only in all instances.

    This form is not an application for rental assistance.

    • THIS FORM WILL NOT RESULT IN OBTAINING RENTAL ASSISTANCE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT ALREADY RECEIVED IT.
    • A primary benefit to participating is a sworn statement entered into the public record about the ease of or difficulty in obtaining rental assistance. Your entry is not survey data. Your entry may be used by us to assert a legal claim against the Commonwealth or its agents.
    • If you or a renter household need rental assistance, you should use every option available to recover rents, including re-applying for RAFT, ERMA, or other emergency subsidies in parallel.
