An Act to expand housing opportunities through homesharing

This bill establishes a legal framework for "homesharing" in Massachusetts, allowing homeowners (homesharing providers) to rent rooms in their owner-occupied homes to others (homesharers) in exchange for services like housekeeping or meal prep, at below-market rent. It requires written agreements covering rent, shared spaces, service limits (max 7 hours/week, no healthcare), and termination notices, while exempting these arrangements from standard landlord-tenant laws. The bill also creates a Homesharing Opportunity Relief Fund to assist with relocation costs if agreements fail, and mandates minimum insurance coverage ($1 million for providers, $100,000 for homesharers). It directly affects homeowners seeking to share their homes and homesharers providing services for reduced rent.
