Re: 60 day cviction
You do have rights especially with young children. You can get up to six months to vacate the premises from Housing court.
Re: 60 day cviction
Dear MA resident,
I think you're talking about an "eviction" notice (not conviction, that is what happens in a criminal court). Yes, you do have rights as a tenant. Under MA law, a landlord must give at least 14 days notice. However, only a judge can order an eviction. If your property was sold to another party, they might have given you notice of the new ownership, or if the property was foreclosed upon (meaning the lender took back the property), you may have received notice of this.
In a nutshell, yes, you do have rights. I would be happy to discuss your options with you. Please feel free to contact me, Kenneth Augen at [email protected]
