Massachusetts Renters' Rights
Massachusetts renters are entitled to certain standards of habitability, as outlined in the 34-page Massachusetts Sanitary Code (105 CMR 410.000).
New tenants often know their rent and due date, but may not be aware of their full entitlements.
The Sanitary Code sets minimum standards for:
- 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 period of time.
