Ferreira v. Charland and Enforcing Rental Agreements

[Jillian Campayno]

This presentation will review the difficulties in enforcing rental agreements in Massachusetts. In particular, we will review the recent case of Ferreira v. Charland, which shocked many:

A landlord did the right thing.
The judge agreed.
On appeal, the landlord lost.
Attendees will leave knowing more about the landlord-tenant legal framework and how to enforce rental agreements.

Part of this event will be presented by Attorney Larry Farber. Attorney Farber is a founding partner of Farber and Lindley. He has been practicing law for over 30 years. He concentrates his practice on landlord-tenant law, discrimination, wrongful discharge from employment, personal injury and general civil litigation. He has extensive experience, in both jury trials and trials before judges, in the Housing, District, Superior and Federal Courts, and before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Bar Foundation from 2010-2018 and was the chair of the Western Division Bench-Bar committee for 5 years, and of the State Housing Court Bench-Bar for 2 years. Attorney Farber has received his B.A. from the State University of New York at Buffalo and his J.D. from the Northeastern University School of Law in Boston.
