The bill introduces a new requirement for the Massachusetts Trial Court to submit a monthly report on summary process cases, specifically focusing on eviction filings, actions, and dispositions, in compliance with General Laws Chapter 239, Section 15. This report will include detailed statistics on various aspects of eviction cases, such as the number of actions 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 track the participation of landlords and tenants in pre-trial mediation and the legal representation they receive.

Key insertions in the bill include the establishment of a "Monthly Summary Process (Eviction) Report" and the requirement to provide specific data points, such as the average length of continuances and stays, as well as the outcomes of mediation efforts. The report aims to enhance transparency and provide valuable insights into the eviction process in Massachusetts, thereby aiding in the understanding of housing stability and the effectiveness of legal support systems for both landlords and tenants.
