Bill overview
This bill, S.973, aims to prevent landlords from offering financial incentives when providing emergency housing to people who are not residents of Massachusetts. It specifically prohibits landlords from using rewards or other financial benefits to encourage them to house non-residents in need of temporary shelter. The bill is intended to address concerns about the potential strain on housing resources and affordability caused by a large influx of non-resident migrants seeking emergency housing. It was referred to the Housing committee and subsequently concurred by the House.
