But in MA actual eviction is a long process. Even in normal times a landlord couldn't evict someone for missing their April 1st rent payment.
If an eviction was already in progress (for failure to pay rent months ago) it's less clear what happens now but a landlord would be hard pressed to find someone working with the legal authority to throw them out.

Good! Thanks to Mayor
Good! Thanks to Mayor Curtatone. I hope the rest of the state, and country, follows suit.
Is this legal?
Can a mayor suspend state laws?
Sounds more like a publicity stunt. With courts closed, it's kind of irrelevant.
How do they stop the "physical eviction" - isn't this usually a county function through the sheriff's dept?
I have the same question

Real estate people regularly disregard...
... tenant’s rights when showing occupied apartments. Many tenants don’t even know they can refuse entry.
Thanks on many levels, Mayor Curtatone!
