Code Citation and Description of Violation
.990. continued
THE FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE LEGAL REMEDIES TENANTS MAY USE IN
ORDER TO GET HOUSING CODE VIOLATIONS CORRECTED.
1. Rent Withholding(General Laws Chapter 239 Section SA).
If Code Violations Are Not Being Corrected von may be entitled to hold bark r rrmn payment. You can do
this n ithoni being evicted f
You can prove that your dwelling unit or conunon areas contain violations which are serious enough to
endanger or materially impair your health or safety and that your landlord brew an—bout the aiolations
before you were behind in your rent.
13. You did not cause the violations and they can be repaired while you continue to live in the building.
C. You are prepared to pay any portion of the rent into court if a judge orders you to pay for it. (for this it is
best to put the rent money aside in a safe place.)
2. Repair and Deduct(General Laws Chapter 111 Section 1 7L).
This law contemns allows you to use your rent money to make the repairs yourself. If your local code
enforement agency certifies that there are code violations which 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 tobeginnecessary repairs(or enter into a written contract to have them made)within five days after
notice or to complete repairs within 14 days after notice you can use up to four mouths'rent in any year to make the
repairs.
3. Retaliatory Rent Increases or Eviction Prohibited(General Laws Chapter 186. Section IS and Chapter 239
Section 2A).
The owner may not increase your rent or evict you m retaliation for making a complaint to your local code
enforcement agency about code violations. If the owner raises your rent or tries to evict wi thin six months after you
have made the complaint he or she will have to show a good mason for the increase or eviction which is u related to
your complaint. You may be able to sue the landlord for damages if he or she tries this.
4. Rent Receivership(General Laws Chapter 111 Sections l29C-H).
The occupants and'or the board of health may petition the District or Superior Court to allow rent to be paid
into court rather than to the owner. The court may then appoint a"receiver"who may spend as much of die rem
money as is needed to correct the violation. The receiver is not subject to a spending limitation of four months'rent.
5. Search of Warranty of Habitability.
You may be entitled to.sue your landlord to have all or sonieof}'ovr rentretwned ityour dwelling out does net
meet minimum standards of habitability.
6 Unfair and Deceptive Practices(General Laws Chapter 93A)
Renting an apartment with code violations is a violation of the consumer protection act and regulations for
which you may sue an owner.

Attached are the completed work orders relating to the Order to Correct at 7D Hampshire
eights.
The last was completed on May 13.
There is one work order still partially open,the result of the tenant's refusal to allow us to
istall screens they had removed. Our attempt was made at 1:30 PM on May 7. The tenant
;fused to allow entry to the bedroom area because the occupant was still sleeping. We will
ttempt to complete that one at a later date.
Please call me if you have any questions.
