The Massachusetts legislature is considering H4647 to halt foreclosures and evictions during the COVID-19 Emergency. This bill would:
- Stops landlords from sending Notices To Quit
- Stops courts from hearing eviction cases or entering judgments
- Stops sheriffs from enforcing executions for possession
- Stops late fees + negative reporting for COVID-impacted tenants
It includes other protections such as:
- A moratorium on residential foreclosures
- Forbearance program for mortgagors impacted by COVID
- Gives landlords access to last month’s rent to cover expenses
- Moratorium on evictions of small businesses
