Massachusetts laws protect the rights of disabled individuals, including those living in residential settings. In general, a landlord cannot evict a tenant without a valid reason. For example, a landlord can evict a tenant for failing to pay rent, violating the terms of the lease agreement, or causing significant damage to the property.
However, a landlord cannot evict a tenant solely because of their disability. Discrimination against disabled individuals is illegal under both federal and state law. If your mother tries to evict you because of your disability, you may have several options for defending yourself.
Here are some steps you can take if you are being discriminated against:
1. Document the discrimination. Keep a record of all communications with your mother, including any written notices or emails. If your mother makes any statements that indicate that she is discriminating against you because of your disability, write down the date, time, and what was said.
2. Contact the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD). The MCAD is the state agency responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws. You can file a complaint with the MCAD online or by calling their toll-free number.
3. Talk to a lawyer. If you are facing eviction, you should talk to a lawyer who specializes in disability law. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and options, and can represent you if necessary.
It is important to remember that you have rights under the law, and that you should not be afraid to stand up for yourself if you are being discriminated against.
