Massachusetts Eviction - Appeals Process

[Mike Hoefling]

Hello everyone.

I am in the middle of what I thought was the end of my eviction process (roughly 4 months to date). I received in the mail a judgment from the Worcester, MA Housing Court giving me (the landlord) possession of the property. However, my tenant is appealing this decision and from what I can find online about this I think it is like a 6 month process or longer. Which is simply ridiculous.

My question here is can someone point me to a website that is actually useful about explaining the appeals process (I have yet to find one) in detail or can someone explain it to me.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

P.S. after I informed my attorney about the appeal he said he would no longer be helping me, so I am also looking for another attorney for the appeals process.
