Massachusetts H1563 establishes an application process for homeowners to remove deed riders attached to their properties.

Massachusetts H1563 amends Chapter 23B of the General Laws to create an application process for homeowners who bought their properties through the Homeowner Opportunity Program. The application, to be developed by the Housing Appeals Committee, aims to allow these homeowners to sell their homes at fair market value after negotiation with the committee. The committee must open the application process by June 1, 2026.
