Bill overview
This bill aims to allow Massachusetts cities and towns to implement their own tenant protections and potentially rent control measures. Currently, state law prohibits local governments from enacting these policies. The bill seeks to remove this prohibition, giving local jurisdictions more power to address housing affordability and tenant security issues. It’s part of a series of similar proposals seeking to strengthen tenant rights.
