You have the right to a decent place to live with heat, hot water, and electricity. Your room and the common areas must be safe and sanitary. The rooming house must meet certain safety requirements. You cannot be locked out of your room without a landlord going to court and getting permission from a judge.
A Roommate Agreement is a written contract between roommates that outlines their rights and obligations while living together. This agreement includes house rules, maintenance duties, restricted behaviors, and more. For a Roommate Agreement to be useful, everyone sharing the household must agree to it.
In this type of agreement, you as a landlord give exclusive rights to one agent or company to rent your property during a specified period of time. What's unique in this arrangement, is that it entitles the agency to be the exclusive listing agent for that property.
Any guest residing at the property for more than 14 days in a six-month period or spending more than 7 nights consecutively will be considered a tenant. This person must be added to the lease agreement.
Massachusetts law typically mandates that tenants obtain written consent from their landlord before subletting. Without it, tenants risk eviction or legal disputes. Legal considerations also extend to ensuring that the sublease agreement does not violate state regulations.
In Massachusetts, if you and your roommate are both on a lease, you don't have the legal power to evict them. If you are the only one on the lease, however, it's possible to evict your roommate—although they must be violating their rental agreement somehow.
If you have a roommate or a family member who is listed as a tenant on the lease, s/he will still be bound by the lease even if you are allowed to get out of it.
Breaking a lease in Massachusetts requires tenants to provide their landlord with written notice. The amount of notice will depend on the length of the lease term: Monthly Leases - Either 30 days or a number of days equal to the interval between each rent payment.
