The bill introduces a new requirement for the Massachusetts Trial Court to produce a monthly report on summary process cases, specifically focusing on eviction filings, actions, and dispositions, as mandated by 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 outcomes of pre-trial mediations. Additionally, it will track the number of continuances and stays issued due to pending applications for short-term emergency rental assistance, as well as the average length of these continuances and stays.

The report aims to provide comprehensive data from January 2024 through July 2025, ensuring transparency and accountability in the eviction process. It will also include information on landlords and tenants receiving legal representation and the outcomes of mediation efforts. The bill emphasizes the importance of accurate data collection and reporting to better understand the dynamics of eviction cases and the effectiveness of legal assistance programs.
