How to Handle Evictions in Boston

Dealing with evictions in Boston is a challenging aspect of property management. For landlords and property managers, a strategic approach to handling evictions while ensuring compliance with local regulations is essential.

This article will shed light on how our dedicated Green Ocean Property Management team handles this intricate procedure while adhering to Massachusetts law.

 

Handling Evictions in Boston

 

Step 1: Review Lease Agreement and Grounds for Eviction

 

 

Our journey begins with a thorough review of the lease agreement. This critical step allows us to identify valid grounds for eviction, be it non-payment of rent, lease violations, or property damage. 

Making sure that the eviction process aligns with the legal framework is paramount for a smooth and trouble-free resolution.

 

Step 2: Issue Notice to Quit

 

Once we establish grounds for eviction, the next move involves issuing a Notice to Quit. 

This official notice serves as a communication tool, informing the tenant about the reasons for potential removal and providing a specified period to rectify the issue or vacate the property. Clarity and adherence to timelines are crucial elements at this stage.

 

Step 3: Court Hearing

 

Should the tenant fail to comply with the Notice to Quit, we proceed to the legal arena by filing a Summary Process action in the appropriate court. 

This marks the initiation of the legal eviction process, culminating in a court hearing where both parties can present their case. Transparency and a fair hearing are at the core of this step.

 

Step 4: Execution of Eviction

 

 

With a court ruling in favor of the property owner, an Execution for Possession is issued. At Green Ocean Property Management, we take charge of coordinating with a constable or sheriff to ensure professional and lawful execution of the eviction. 

Throughout this process, maintaining open communication with the property owner is non-negotiable. We understand the emotional weight of such situations and strive to ease the burden through transparent updates.

 

Conclusion

 

Embarking on a straightforward and legally compliant eviction journey isn’t just about safeguarding the property owner’s interests; it’s about minimizing stress for both property owners and tenants.
