The bill outlines the requirements for a monthly report to be submitted to various legislative bodies regarding the compliance with Chapter 239, Section 15 of the General Laws, which pertains to Permanent Rental Protections. This report will include detailed statistics on eviction filings, actions, and dispositions from January 2024 through February 2025. Key metrics to be reported include the number of summary process cases filed, default judgments entered, executions for possession orders granted, and the number of continuances and stays issued due to pending applications for short-term emergency rental assistance. Additionally, the report will provide data on landlords and tenants participating in pre-trial mediation and the legal representation received by both parties.

The bill also introduces new legal language, including a link to a public data source for further information on eviction filings and related statistics. It specifies the number of summary process cases filed within each court jurisdiction, the number of default judgments by type of summary process action, and the average length of continuances and stays granted. The report aims to enhance transparency and provide a comprehensive overview of the eviction landscape in Massachusetts, ensuring that stakeholders are informed about the ongoing trends and outcomes in housing stability and rental protections.
