Massachusetts Eviction Requirements: 14-Day Notice for Unpaid Rent
If your Massachusetts Tenant falls behind on rent, you must issue a 14-day notice. This notice should include:
- The amount of unpaid rent
- When rent must be paid
- The Consequences for failure to comply, including eviction proceedings
Note: Landlords must also attach the Form to Accompany Residential Notice to Quit to the document and documentation of any agreements between the Landlord and Tenant for repayment of late or unpaid rent.
Landlord Tips:
- For Lease violations other than non-payment of rent, Landlords should use the Massachusetts 30-Day Notice to Quit.
- Landlords of public housing and rent-control Tenants must follow the instructions of the local housing authority or rent control board before initiating eviction proceedings.
Providing proper notice is a required first step in the eviction process. Customize the 14-Day Notice to Quit in minutes to ensure compliance with all Massachusetts Landlord laws.
