Establishes a homesharing program in Massachusetts to expand housing opportunities.
The bill creates a homesharing program to allow homeowners to share their properties with others in exchange for services or reduced rent. The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) will oversee the program, setting terms for agreements, including rent, shared spaces, and services. The EOHLC will also establish a Homesharing Opportunity Relief Fund to assist with costs related to failed agreements. Homesharing agreements will exempt participants from certain landlord-tenant laws and require background checks and insurance.
