- We are calling on our public officials to enact policies that provide tenants who are facing eviction with information on community resources for rental assistance and legal advocacy.
- We are asking the Waltham City Council to mandate landlords to include a copy of local eviction resources and programs to the tenant at the time of serving a notice to quit.
- We are asking our MA Legislators to make the new requirement (for a landlord to give information to tenants facing eviction) permanent and to include phone numbers for rental and legal assistance.
- We ask that these notices be provided in the tenant's primary language.
