Ok folks what are tenant rights like in Mass (rent, tenants)

Hi there folks, I currently live in PA but am looking for a move back to New England asap. One of the many problems with PA is that it appears to be a pro-landlord state and we have been screwed since day one. So I was just wondering how Mass treated its tenants who pay their rent but had disputes with the landlord.

Thanks for any opinions.

Massachusetts has the reputation as tenant friendly (http://www.city-data.com/forum/massa...pros-cons.html)

If you have specific question, you can look at the state page (http://www.mass.gov/Cago/docs/Consum...nant073007.pdf). Bear in mind, though, that MA is more expensive than PA.
