But where you will win in MA is appreciation.

Here's a secret - evictions are expensive everywhere, and tenants win almost all disputes regardless of the state.

I guess a flat seasonal fee like any insurance policy, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Good luck winning that one in court.

Quote from @Jonathan Grzeszczyk: I agree that the motivation and problem is the core, but the first question is always where are you going when we come to a win-win agreement for you to sell me your house.

We normally do not seek judgement due to the expense that is involved, even after you win you have to continue to renew the judgement every year.We put them in collections and have it hit all three credit bureaus.

It’s a winning strategy…..  

Does that sound like a winning strategy to you?

Check with your lender and what they would require.Think of everything you can to make it win-win for the buyer. 

I found a win - win situation for the corporate owner, the rail road land owner, and the community who were plagued by the vagrants steeling and causing mischief.
