Statewide Virtual Meeting Wed Jan 10th: (not so) Summary Process: the Changing Landscape of Landlord Tenant disputes in MA
.
This event looks at alternatives to eviction. The legal term for the eviction process in Massachusetts is "summary process." Historically, the "summary" was meant to recognize that "time is of the essence." But 95th percentile court duration has climbed to around seven months. So we have to ask: What are the legal alternatives to court?
This event will review the options for dealing with landlord-tenant disputes in Massachusetts. We will cover:
- Last-ditch attempts to stabilize using a payment plan (e.g., RentHelper).
- Community mediation.
- Private "cash for keys" relocation assistance agreements.
- Eviction in court as a "Plan B" in parallel to other options.
Attendees will leave knowing why court takes so long and what we can try instead. You are free to bring concerns with a current dispute, but note that we will not be giving legal advice particular to your situation. Our speaker will not be entering into attorney-client privilege with you at this event.
Part of this presentation will be given by Attorney Jordana Roubicek Greenman. She is a real estate lawyer, recipient of the Super Lawyers Rising Star award 2012-2020, and one of Boston Magazine's Top Lawyers of 2022 and 2023. Her practice - with offices in Boston and Watertown - includes commercial and residential landlord/tenant disputes, condominium association representation, general real estate litigation, and commercial and residential real estate closings. Attorney Greenman has a well-respected reputation for aggressively advocating for her clients' goals, and ensuring beneficial outcomes at a reasonable cost. She was an instrumental part of the team spearheading legal action opposing the Massachusetts and Boston eviction moratoriums, and is very active within the legal community. Attorney Greenman is a member of the Real Estate Council for the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Real Estate Bar Association, writes columns for the Massachusetts Lawyers Journal and Real Estate Bar Association News, and regularly leads legal seminars for first-time homebuyers and small-property owners.
"Attorney Greenman is such a great source of common sense and specialized wisdom!" -David
