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, executions for possession orders, continuances and stays related to emergency rental assistance applications, and participation in pre-trial mediation. The report aims to provide transparency and data-driven insights into the eviction process in Massachusetts.

Additionally, the bill includes specific insertions of legal language that outline the structure and content of the monthly report, including the introduction of a dedicated online resource for accessing relevant data. The report will cover a time frame from January 2024 through May 2025, and it will also track the legal representation of landlords and tenants in these cases. The goal of this legislation is to enhance the understanding of eviction trends and improve the judicial process related to housing stability in the state.
