Massachusetts Renters' Rights
According to the 34-page Massachusetts Sanitary Code, landlords must meet minimum standards of habitability. New tenants often know their rent and due date, but few are aware of their entitlements in exchange for rent.
The Massachusetts Sanitary Code (105 CMR 410.000) outlines the minimum standards for rental units, including:
- kitchen facilities
- bathroom facilities
- ceiling heights
- window size and location
- electrical outlets per room
- heating capabilities
- hot water requirements
- lead paint
- ventilation
- smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Tenants have the right to request their landlord remedy any deficiencies within a reasonable time frame.
