A new law in Massachusett, The Affordable Homes Act (Section 52) now lets tenants ask courts to hide their past eviction records. In effect, screening companies like RentSpree and SmartMove have halted showing all eviction records in Massachusetts on their reports. 

For landlords, this is a big problem. They can't check a potential renter's history to see if they've been reliable or caused issues in the past. This makes it much riskier to choose new tenants, as landlords won't know if they're renting to someone who has had problems following lease rules or paying rent before. TenantTracks, however, remains a reliable source, providing MA eviction records while complying with the new sealing law, ensuring you get the full, crucial picture.

Unlike many other states, Massachusetts law dictates that landlords cannot charge rental application fees to tenants. This means the cost of tenant screening reports, including credit and background checks, falls directly to the landlord, as only licensed real estate brokers in Massachusetts are permitted to charge such fees. This is why TenantTracks is so valuable: we keep our pricing low, ensuring landlords can get a complete picture of a prospective tenant's history without sacrificing crucial data or paying extra to get all the details.
