One strong piece of advice I heard (and wished I implemented sooner) from Grant Cardone & Gary Vaynerchuk:"Be omnipresent" - market your business in as many (free) outlets as you can.

The numbers check is simple if 340 a door prevents even one deductible hit across the property over a couple years it pencils, but only if install and ongoing monitoring are tight and you can show fewer claims or fewer incidents.

If the case was filed strictly for nonpayment, introducing a non-renewal can be seen as switching to a no-fault holdover.MA courts are very technical about this and often require the case to match the notice exactly.Timing of the non-renewal notice matters.If it was served after the eviction was filed, judges frequently require dismissal and refiling.If it was served before filing, sometimes it can be pled correctly from the start.Month-to-month vs. term lease.Since the lease ends Feb 28, issuing a non-renewal prevents an automatic month-to-month rollover, which is smart.But it can conflict procedurally with an active nonpayment case.Judges don’t like mixed theories.MA Housing Court typically wants one clean basis: either nonpayment or expiration of tenancy, not both at once.So yes, in MA it is very common that:• Non-renewal during a pending nonpayment eviction• Forces dismissal• And requires refiling as a holdover after lease expirationThat said, refiling as a holdover after Feb 28 can sometimes be faster and cleaner than fighting procedural issues mid-case.You’re not wrong to question it, but procedurally this is one of those states where doing the “right” thing can still reset the clock.
