Massachusetts Eviction Notice

Before a Massachusetts landlord can file for eviction, the tenancy usually has to be ended with written notice. How much notice depends on the reason. Here’s what Massachusetts’s statute says for each kind of notice this template builds.

Required disclosures in Massachusetts

Under the Attorney General’s regulations, a written lease must also state clearly the names, addresses and phone numbers of the owner and of anyone responsible for maintenance and repairs, and who is authorized to receive notices and service of process for the owner. Including any term that violates the law is itself an unfair practice (940 CMR 3.17(3)).

Lead paint — Federal lead warning and disclosure for pre-1978 housing (42 U.S.C. §4852d), plus the Massachusetts Tenant Lead Law Notification and Certification form. Under the state Lead Law, an owner must abate or contain lead hazards in any unit where a child under six lives (M.G.L. c. 111 §§197, 197A).
Deposit paperwork — The deposit receipt, the 30-day bank-account notice and the 10-day statement of condition (§15B).
Copy of the lease — The landlord must give the tenant a copy of the signed lease within 30 days; any clause waiving this is void (§15D).
Nonpayment form — The state form that must accompany any nonpayment notice to quit (§31).

Massachusetts Eviction Notice FAQs

How much notice is needed to end a month-to-month tenancy in Massachusetts?

30 days or one full rental period, whichever is longer, in writing, ending on a rent day. For unpaid rent, a 14-day notice to quit is enough, but it must come with the state’s required form, and many tenants have a right to cure (c. 186 §§11, 12, 31).
