Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Re: Tenant at Will

The type of tenancy is generally established when the tenant moves into the unit. There is no specific timeframe you must live in an apartment to become a tenant at will. A tenancy at will does not have any fixed end date. The tenancy continues until one of the parties elects to terminate the tenancy. A tenancy at will can be terminated by either party with a 30 day notice. The notice period must end on a rent day. A tenancy at will can also be created when a tenant remains in the unit after the expiration of a lease and continues to pay rent to the landlord (and the landlord accepts without any objection).
