Massachusetts Eviction Notice

Massachusetts nonpayment usually starts with a 14-day notice to quit. The tenant may be able to cure by paying before the summary-process hearing. This is not a summary-process summons. This generator builds a written Massachusetts eviction notice (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, end-of-term, or unconditional quit) around those deadlines. It is not a court summons, and it is not permission to change the locks.

• Nonpayment notices are often 14 days.
• A 7-day notice to quit is typical for a breach other than nonpayment, if the lease allows it.
• This notice does not start a court case. If the tenant stays, file in the proper court and have the papers served.
