An Act enabling local options for tenant protections

Summary

The bill rewrites Chapter 40P to give each city or town the option to set its own rent‑control limits, require just‑cause for evictions, regulate condo conversions, and control deposits and broker fees. It applies mainly to multi‑family rentals while exempting small owner‑occupied buildings and new construction. The goal is to give localities tools to curb displacement and high rent burdens.
