CERTIFIED MAIL.# 7001 1940 0005 1331 7323
THE FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE LEGAL
REMEDIES TENANTS MAY USE TO GET HOUSING CODE VIOLATIONS
CORRECTED:
1. RENT WITHHOLDING (GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 239,SECTION 8A)
If Code Violations are not being corrected you may be entitled to hold back your rent payments.
You can do this without being evicted if:
A You can prove that your dwelling unit or common areas contain code violations which are
serious enough to endanger or materially impair your health or safety and that your
landlord knew about the violations before you were behind in rent.
B. You did not cause the violations and they can be repaired while you continue to live in the
building or apartment.
C. You are prepared to pay any portion of the rent into court if a judge orders you to pay it.
(For this it is best to put rent money aside in a safe place.)
2. REPAIR AND DEDUCT(GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 111,SECTION 127L)
The law sometimes allows you to use your rent money to make the repairs yourself. If your local
code enforcement agency certifies that there are code violations which seriously endanger or
materially impair your health,safety or well-being and your landlord has received written notice of
the violations,you may be able to use this remedy. If the owner fails to begin necessary repairs
(or to enter into a written contract to have them made) within five days after notice or to complete
repairs within fourteen days after the notice you can use up to four months' rent in any one year
to make the repairs.
3. RETALIATORY RENT INCREASES OR EVICTIONS PROHIBITED (GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER
186,SECTION 18 AND CHAPTER 239,SECTION 2A)
The owner may not increase your rent or evict you in retaliation for making a complaint to the
local enforcement agency about code violations. If the owner raises your rent or tries to evict
within six months after you have made the complaint he or she will have to show a good reason
for the increase or eviction which is unrelated to your complaint. You may be able to sue the
landlord for damages if he or she tried this.
4. RENT RECEIVERSHIP(GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 111,SECTIONS C -H)
The occupants and/or the Board of Healt' may petition the District or Superior Court to allow rent
to be paid into court rather than to the owner. The court may appoint a"receiver"who may spend
as much of the rent money as is needed to correct the violation(s). The receiver is not subject to
a spending limitation of four months'rent.
5. BREACH OF WARRANTY OR HABITABILITY
You may be entitled to sue your landlord to have all or some of your rent returned if your dwelling
unit does not meet minimum standards of human habitability.
6. UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES(GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 93A)
Renting an apartment with code violations is a violation of the Consumer Protection Regulations
for which you may sue an owner.
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED ABOVE IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE LAW. BEFORE YOU DECIDE
TO WITHHOLD YOUR RENT OR TAKE OTHER LEGAL ACTION, IT IS ADVISABLE THAT YOU CONSULT
AN ATTORNEY. IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD AT ATTORNEY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE NEAREST
LEGAL SERVICES OFFICE WHICH IS:
WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS LEGAL SERVICES 584 - 4034
