Your landlord must first send you a "Notice to Quit" your tenancy. If the landlord is terminating your tenancy for non-payment of rent, s/he must send you a "14-Day Notice to Quit" (M.G.L.c.186, §§ 11 and 12). Your lease will specify the notice requirement for other terminations; it is typically seven days.
In a summary process case, the landlord can sue the tenant for unpaid rent, even if the tenancy was ended for a reason other than not paying rent. The summons and complaint form includes a section for the landlord to specify the rent that's owed.
A 14-day notice to quit means your tenancy is terminated 14 days after you get the notice. This is the first step in an eviction. If you have a lease, any clause in the lease saying that the landlord can end your tenancy for non-payment of rent without giving you a 14-day notice is illegal.
If you want to end the tenancy because the tenant hasn't paid rent, you need a written 14 days notice to quit, unless the lease says otherwise. For other circumstances, the eviction process is different depending on the type of tenancy you have with your tenant.
Supplementary process is a lawsuit to collect a judgment that was already awarded by the court. In a supplementary process action, the judge determines the ability of the "judgment debtor" to pay the judgment.
