Legal Remedies for Tenants of
Residential Housing
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(Massachusetts 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
yourrent.
B. 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 it. (For this, it is best to put the
rent money aside in a safe place.)
2. Repair and Deduct(Massachusetts Genual 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
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 14 days after notice,you can use up to four months'rent in any
year to make the repairs.
3. Retaliatm Rent Increases or Evictions Prohibited(Massachusetts 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 your local code
enforcement agency about code violations.If the owner raises your rent to 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 of be or she tees this.
4. Rent Receivership(Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 11, section 127C-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 the rent money as is needed to correct the violation.The receiver is not subject to a
spending limitation of four months'rent
5. Brea h of Warranty of 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 habitability.
6. Unfair and Deceptive Practices(Massachusetts 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.
The information presented above is only a summary of the law. Before you decide to withhold your rent or take any other
legal action,it is advisable that you consult an attorney. If you cannot afford to consult an attorney, you should contact the
