A monthly report of the Executive Office of the Trial Court (under Section 15 of Chapter 239 of the General Laws, as amended by Section 64 of Chapter 28 of the Acts of 2023) submitting its report on filings, actions, and dispositions of summary process cases relative to permanent rental protections
HD 5161 requires the Executive Office of the Trial Court to submit a monthly report on summary process cases (eviction filings) involving permanent rental protections, such as rent control or tenant protection laws. The report must track filings, court actions, and case outcomes for these specific cases. This bill directly affects the Trial Court's reporting obligations and provides data transparency for legislative oversight of housing-related court proceedings. It does not create new laws but mandates regular data collection on eviction cases under existing rental protections.
