H 1302 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to manufactured housing

This bill modifies Massachusetts laws regarding rent increases for tenants living in manufactured homes. It establishes that any rent hike applied unevenly to similar tenants will be presumed unfair unless proven otherwise. The law also clarifies that differences in when tenants moved in can make them belong to different groups for comparison purposes. Finally, the new rules regarding unfair rent practices will apply to past changes as well as future ones.
