The bill mandates the Executive Office of the Trial Court to submit a monthly report that includes detailed statistics on eviction filings, actions, and dispositions under Chapter 239, Section 15 of the General Laws, which addresses Permanent Rental Protections. The report will encompass various data points, such as the number of summary process cases filed, default judgments, executions for possession orders, and the number of continuances and stays due to pending short-term emergency rental assistance applications. Key insertions in the bill include tracking the average length of continuances and stays, as well as the participation of landlords and tenants in pre-trial mediation and legal representation. The report will also feature a link to a public data dashboard for enhanced transparency.

Additionally, the bill revises the legal framework for corporate representation in judicial proceedings, stipulating that only licensed attorneys may represent corporations in court, with small claims cases being the exception. This change aims to ensure that legal matters are handled by qualified professionals. The bill also updates various statistical figures related to non-payment of rent cases, including an increase in the representation percentage from 89.9% to 93.5%, reflecting a commitment to improving data accuracy and providing a clearer understanding of legal representation and case outcomes in the housing sector.
