No, in Massachusetts, a landlord cannot evict a tenant immediately. They must go through the legal eviction process and obtain a court order.
For nonpayment of rent, landlords typically must provide a 14-day notice to pay or quit. For other lease violations, notice requirements vary, but the court process is always required before eviction.
