Practical guidance for Massachusetts property owners
Use this page for general planning and assignment preparation. Verify current law, court rules, lease requirements, and case-specific advice with qualified counsel.
Preserve service records
Keep copies of each served document, return or affidavit, attempt notes, dates, addresses, and supporting delivery information.
Create a clear chronology
Prepare a dated timeline of payments, communications, notices, repairs, alleged violations, and court events.
Coordinate with counsel
A constable provides service documentation, not legal representation. Questions about evidence, claims, defenses, witnesses, and hearing strategy should go to counsel.
