The SIX Most Common Lawsuits Against Massachusetts Landlords

I have been a Landlord in MA for 15 years and own about 50 apartments and condos in Massachusetts. Even though I am not a lawyer I have reached a Jury Trial in Housing Court and won 100% with the Jury in a 4-day Trial against me having to deal with a skilled attorney on the other side.[](http://1.esimov.pay.clickbank.net)
The standards for the six most common lawsuits against landlords in Massachusetts are conveniently organized in this book. It provides Massachusetts landlords with a handy and actionable reference. The Supreme Court and Appellate Court quotations define these six violations by landlords so that there can be no doubt what to do and what not to do.
This eBook answers the following 6 questions: 1. What is a Breach of the Warranty of Habitability? 2. What is a Breach of Quiet Enjoyment? 3. What is Emotional Distress? 4. What is Retaliation? 5. What is Discrimination? and 6. What is 93A (Unfair and Deceptive Practices)?
Each one of these Claims if raised against you can cost you many thousands of dollars. All of them (except Habitability) come with Attorney Fees which can also cost you many thousands of dollars and it is very easy to lose in Housing Court in MA if you are a landlord.
This book is different from other books on the subject because it gets straight to the point and provides the actual quotations from the Appellate and Supreme Court Cases that judges must use when determining if the landlord behavior fits into one of these six claims.
The cost of this handy reference is only $47! Just click below to download your eBook immediately.
