A Vent: Over Dining Out in Boston

No, there is no rent control in Massachusetts.

“Massachusetts law currently does not enforce rent control restrictions, and there is no legal limit to the amount that landlords can increase the rent by. Landlords are free to choose their own rent prices.”

“In Massachusetts, landlords are permitted to increase the rent at any time, provided they give the required notice, are not doing so during the fixed duration of the lease (unless the lease agreement specifically permits it), and do not do it to discriminate or retaliate against the tenant.”
