Appendix II (14)
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:
You can prove that your dwelling unit or common areas contain code violations which are serious
enough to endanger or materially impair your health of safety and that your landlord knew about the
violations before you were behind in your rent.
You did not cause the violations and they can be repaired while you continue to live in the
building.
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 General Laws,Chapter Iii, 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 may 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
the notice or to complete repairs within 14 days after notice,you can use up to four months rent in any year
to make repairs.
3. Retaliatory 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 try 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 or if he or she tries this.
4. Rent Receivership (Massachusetts General Laws Chapter U, section 127 C-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.
S. Breach 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& 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 rent or take any
other legal action, it is advisable that you consult an attorney. If you can not afford to consult an attomey, you
should contact the nearest legal services office, which is
