Eviction process in MA

[Karen F.]

How long would a straight forward eviction for failure to leave at the end of a nine month lease take in MA?  I am trying to decide whether it's worth it to do a winter rental of a summer vacation property.  Summer rent could be as much as $30K over ten weeks.  Winter rent as little as 15K over 9 months, but tenant would also cover the utilities, plus I feel that it's better to have the property occupied in the winter.  I was thinking that I would have the lease be over at the end of April, so that I could have enough time to evict, if for some reason anyone ever failed to vacate the property.  But if eviction were to take more than 6 weeks, that would cut into the summer rental period, and I'd lose a lot.  I read MA LL guide to eviction, but it's not helpful in giving me an idea of how long it would take.
