Landlord Eviction Representation
Massachusetts & New Hampshire
RentalCounsel represents rental property owners in possession matters in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Because the governing rules depend on the state, the tenancy, the lease, the property, the reason for termination, and the procedural history, every matter begins with a review of the actual documents and facts.
A careful process from notice through possession
An eviction case is not simply a court filing. The validity of the notice, service, timing, pleadings, evidence, defenses, counterclaims, settlement terms, judgment, and enforcement can each affect the result. Early legal review can identify problems before they become expensive delays.
- Review of leases, payment records, notices, communications, and property documents
- Assessment of the lawful grounds and available procedural paths
- Preparation or review of termination notices and related documents
- Representation in summary process or landlord-and-tenant proceedings
- Negotiation of payment, move-out, compliance, or possession agreements
- Guidance concerning judgment and lawful enforcement procedures
Massachusetts and New Hampshire are different
The two states do not use interchangeable statutes, forms, deadlines, defenses, or court procedures. Federal or state housing programs, local requirements, bankruptcy, discrimination protections, retaliation issues, property conditions, and other circumstances may also change the analysis. A form or strategy that fits one matter may be ineffective in another.
Documents to gather before calling

- A complete rent ledger and payment history
