THE FOLLOWING ISA BRIEF SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE LEGAL REMEDIES TENANTS MAY USE LN
ORDER TO GET HOUSING CODE VIOLATIONS CORRECTED.
1. Rent Withholding(General Laws Chapter 239 Section SA).
11 Code Violations Are,Vot Being Corrected you may be entitled to hold back your rent payment. You ran do
this without being evicted i(•
A. You can prove that your dwelling unit or common areas contain violations which are serious enough to
endanger or materially impair your health or safety and that your landlord knew an=bout die violations
before you were behind in your rent
B. You did not cause the violations and they can be repaired while you continue to live in the building.
C. You are prepared to pay any portion of the rent into court if a judge orders you to pay for it. (for this it is
best to put the rent money aside in a safe place.)
2. Repair and Deduct(General Laws Chapter 111 Section 127L).
This law sometimes allows you to use your rent money to make the repairs yourself. If your local code
enforcement agency certifies that there are code violations which endanger or materially impair your health,safety
or well-being and your landlord has received written notice of the violations,you may be able to use this remedy. If
the owner fails to begin necessary repairs(or enter into a written connact to have them made)within five days after
notice or to complete repairs within 14 days after notice you can use up to four months'rent in any year to make the
repairs.
3. Retaliatory Rent Increases or Eviction Prohibited(General Laws Chapter 186, Section 18 and Chapter 239
Section 2A).
The owner may not increase yore-rent or evict you in retaliation for making a complaint to your local code
enforcement agency about code violations. lithe owner raises your rent or hies to evict within six months after you
have made the complaint he or she will have to show a good reason for the increase or eviction which is ur elated to
your complaint. You may be able to sue the landlord for damages if he or she tries this.
4. Rent Receivership(General Laws Chapter 1 1 l Sections 127C-H).
The occupants and/or the board of health way petition the District or Superior Court to allow rent to be paid
into court rather than to the owner. The court may then appoint a"receiver"w ho may spend as much of the rent
money as is needed to correct the violation. The receiver is not subject to a spending limitation of four months'rent.
5. Search of Warranty of Habitability.
You may be entitled to sue your landlord to have all or some of your rent returned if your dwelling unit does net
meet minimum standards of habitability.
6 Unfair and Deceptive Practices(General Laws Chapter 93A)
Renting an apartment with code violations is a violation of the consumer protection act and regulations for
which you may sue an owner.
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED ABOVE IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE LAW,BEFORE YOU DECIDE
