Tenants in Massachusetts have strong protections, including the right to safe and habitable housing, privacy with reasonable notice before landlord entry, protection against unlawful or retaliatory eviction, and the timely return of security deposits within strict legal limits. Landlords must follow formal eviction procedures, comply with lease terms and notice requirements, and maintain the property under state sanitary and housing codes, with additional tenant safeguards enforced by state law.
