Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts

If you entered the prpoerty legally, then a landlord must bring an eviction action to evict you. If you entered illegally, then the landlord can call the police and have you arrested. A sub-tenant enters legally through the tenant.

As far as entering the property legally or illegally the question comes down to the issue of whether or not you were given notice not to enter the premises or if a notice is shown on the property that no one can enter without approval

I would need this info in order to advise you one who or the other

If you entered the property as a sub-tenant, the Landlord must evict you. If you are a squater and the Landlord has been aware, he can file a Trespass Complaint and have you removed and/or arrested.

As the others have said, assuming that you entered the property legally, the landlord must go through with the legal eviction process. A landlord may NOT throw you out or have you removed without seeing the judicial process to the end. If you are interested in representation, please feel free to contact our office.
