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.
