Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts
eviction
My tenent is 53 yrs. old male with 22 year old son, hasn't paid rent since March 09, I have a court date on Thursday. He was recently hospitalized for depression, in prior years he was collecting a disability check for some injury, which has since been cut off.
Is it possible that the tenant could win this case for reasons of depression and use his disability to remain rent free til some time when he is able to collect a disability check.

Re: eviction
Non-payment of rent is a basis for eviction regardless of the other situation. Massachusetts law allows you to an income stream unless there is a problem with the premises.

Unless there is an issue with the premises, the Tenant is required to pay rent or vacate the premises.
