HD 741 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act providing for tenant agents

HD 741 requires anyone charging a fee to find housing for tenants to be a licensed real estate broker or salesperson. It directly affects unlicensed individuals or companies currently offering tenant-finding services for payment. The bill prohibits unlicensed fee-charging tenant-finding services while allowing licensed brokers to specifically represent tenants in locating and negotiating leases. This changes the licensing requirement for a specific type of housing assistance service, making it mandatory for those charging fees to hold a real estate license.
