Massachusetts evictions follow summary process under Chapter 239. The case starts with a Notice to Quit, then a Summary Process Summons and Complaint with a Monday entry date, an answer date for the tenant’s defenses, and a hearing that often begins with mediation. For the full sequence, see our landlord timeline and the tenant guide to answering a Notice to Quit.
Most tenants and landlords in this area can choose between the Housing Court and the local District Court. The Housing Court specializes in these cases and has Housing Specialists who mediate. If your property sits in one of the towns listed above, this division is usually the right venue.
