How Long Does it Take to Evict a Tenant For Nonpayment in MA?

Salina Doe
Posted

Hi Landlords and Investors, 

I am starting my first eviction with a Section 8 tenant who has not paid for 2 months rent now in Massachusetts. Since it's my first eviction, I don't know what to expect - especially for a Section 8 tenant as there are more in depth and specific notices to provide them. I am hiring an eviction attorney and I wanted to know how long does it take to evict someone out of my property and the cost of it like attorney fees...etc? 

I have been quoted around $4k-$5k and additional hourly charge if it gets complicated. Not sure if this is the average cost to hire an eviction attorney. 

Please share your experience! Thank you in advance.
