An Act providing for tenant agents

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow licensed real estate brokers to work exclusively with tenants to find rental properties. Under the new rules, these agents can negotiate lease terms on behalf of renters and present offers to landlords without needing to represent the property owner. The legislation primarily affects prospective tenants seeking housing assistance and real estate professionals who wish to specialize in tenant representation. By clarifying the scope of work for licensed brokers, the bill aims to formalize the role of agents who advocate specifically for tenant interests in the rental market.
