How long does it take to evict a tenant in the state of Ma.?

Answer 1

For nonpayment of rent, in a Housing Court, about 5-6 weeks if everything is in the landlord's favor or the tenant does not fight it. From giving of 14-day notice to quit to execution being issued. Average is closer to 6-10 weeks.

For 30-day notice with code violations in the premises and ignorant lawyers representing the landlord, I have kept tenants in over a year.
