An Act to ensure protections for residents in condominium conversions

This bill amends Massachusetts housing laws to redefine how small buildings are classified for condominium conversion purposes. Specifically, it removes the exemption that previously allowed buildings with fewer than four residential units to be excluded from certain housing regulations, unless they are part of a larger development. The change directly affects owners of small multi-unit buildings who wish to convert them into condominiums, ensuring these properties fall under the same protections as larger housing projects. By altering the definition of a "housing accommodation," the legislation aims to standardize rules across different building sizes.
