Many tenants are having difficulty paying rent, and are at risk of being evicted now that the eviction moratorium was lifted in Massachusetts. If you are having difficulty paying rent and are at risk of being evicted, you have certain rights and may be able to prevent or delay being evicted. Since the process can be complicated, we recommend you contact an attorney right away if you are having difficulty paying rent and think you might be evicted.

The Massachusetts eviction moratorium expired on October 17, 2020. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Temporary Halt in Evictions, which is sometimes called the CDC Order forbidding your landlord from evicting you for not paying rent until December 31, 2020 if you are eligible. CONTACT CLS for details.
