Eric R. ScottHypothetically, if my landlord described to me in detail how they exploited legal loopholes to discriminate against a disabled tennant and void their lease, and I got it all on tape, who would I report that to? Someone at city hall? The state attorney general? This is hypothetically in #Massachusetts, btw.
Matt Griffin@LeafyEricScott @onekade might know
mem_somerville@LeafyEricScott #SomervilleMA has a housing stability office--other towns might? They might not be the place ultimately, but they could point you to the right one.
@LeafyEricScott Also, a tenant's right event we held once pointed people to this site for legal help w/ housing issues.
onekade@LeafyEricScott it’s illegal to secretly wiretap someone in Massachusetts. So can’t use the tape against someone without risking being prosecuted and sued. But if the landlord is violating the fair housing act or other non discrimination laws someone can report them to the AGO: https://www.mass.gov/fair-housing-law
