An Act further protecting tenants

This bill amends Chapter 239 of the General Laws by adding clear definitions for key terms used in tenant protection laws. It defines "Tenant" as anyone occupying property for money or services (written or verbal), "Subtenant" as someone renting from a tenant, and "Consideration" as money or services provided under any agreement. These definitions directly affect tenants, subtenants, and landlords operating under Chapter 239. The bill clarifies the legal language to ensure consistent application of existing tenant protections, without introducing new requirements or penalties.
