Massachusetts H1762 seeks to remove void restrictive covenants from land titles.
Massachusetts H1762 amends Section 114 of Chapter 185 to remove void restrictive covenants from land titles. The bill allows registry districts to amend certificates of title without court approval if the restrictions are expressly and unambiguously void. Districts must review restrictions when issuing new certificates and report amended certificates annually to the Office of Fair Housing. The bill aims to prevent discriminatory practices and acknowledge the history of racially motivated housing policies.
