Massachusetts Lease Renewal Offer
Propose a new term and rent for an existing Massachusetts tenancy. Until both sides sign, the current lease and Massachusetts notice rules still control.
- A tenancy at will generally takes notice equal to the rental interval, often 30 days (Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 186, § 12).
- A signed renewal is what changes the term. This paper is the offer.
- Do not use a renewal to skip Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 186, § 15B.
