Introduced Text

Massachusetts H3990 aims to stabilize tenants and small property owners by modifying eligibility criteria for assistance.

Massachusetts H3990 amends existing law to ensure that a notice to quit from a landlord is not required for a household to be eligible for assistance. The bill also mandates the executive office to establish criteria for identifying households experiencing or at risk of homelessness, with public feedback considered in the development of these criteria. This change seeks to provide more inclusive support for tenants and small property owners in the state.
