Under a new law, tenants in Massachusetts will be able to remove certain evictions from their record so that they do not show up when future landlords or creditors search for their names. However, these evictions are not automatically sealed. Tenants must file a petition with the Court where the eviction was filed to request that the eviction be sealed.

Register for this virtual training on May 22 to learn about the new law, what types of evictions are eligible to be sealed, and how to draft petitions to seal. This training is FREE with your commitment to sign up at for a session of the Worcester Eviction Record Sealing Clinic or to accept at least one pro bono housing case in the coming year.
