An Act protecting homeowners from unnecessary foreclosures

This bill amends Massachusetts law to protect homeowners from specific practices by nonprofit organizations and their affiliates. It prohibits lenders from forcing borrowers to sign documents that limit their right to live in a home after selling it to a tax-exempt entity. Additionally, it prevents these entities from claiming a share of future home value increases through new mortgages unless the homeowner is explicitly warned about this requirement before closing. The legislation also grants the Attorney General the authority to create rules interpreting these new protections.
