@Lien Vuong: Thank you!

@Nathan G.: That’s what I’m afraid of with the technicality. I did go to court today to pick up the eviction paperwork and was surprised hat they couldn’t give me guidance on how to do this myself. The system is rigged. It shouldn’t be so complicated if they signed a contract and don’t follow it. I guess that’s what attorneys are for.

@Howard Herrington: Thanks for that reminder that this is business even though it affects you emotionally! 😊

@Jonathan Bombaci : Hi Jonathan, I want them out of my house so I can sell it. They have been the worst tenants. They have been constantly late in paying rent to a point that I had wanted to evict them in the past for late rent payment. I have tried to offer cash for keys to get them out and they wouldn’t accept it since they really like where they live. Given the cost, I think I may truly to do this myself and am not sure if the court can allow them to extend their stay since they are a tenant at will.

Hi Everyone,

I need help. I have a tenant in Massachusetts that is a tenant at will. I gave them 30 days notice to vacate and they hired Mass legal aid and have stopped all communication with me which tells me that they won’t move. I have talked to several attorneys and they all told me the cost could be up to $10,000 since Massachusetts is an extremely tenant friendly state. Apparently one lawyer told me I could run into difficulty because I didn’t send them notice of the bank account to which I kept their security deposit. I’m upset that the law is not on my side when contractually I could give them 30 days notice to vacate. Has anyone done the eviction process on their own? As a side note, how do you keep calm and not get swept up with anger over this? Thank you in advance.
