Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts
Illegal apartment
I received a notice to quit because my landlady rented to me illegally. I will not be moving within the time she gave me. I am sure her lawyer will go to court to have the judge order me out. Am I by law able to be compensated for her wrong doing?
(renting out illegally) not compensation as far as greed, but compensation as far as moving expenses, help with first, last or security deposit for the next apartment, especially where I am a single mother of 2 young girls and am having a hard time as is financially.
