My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Massachusetts
I have a friend that needs to vacate a lease due to her living in deplorable conditions. She has made reasonable efforts to find a replacement, but her current roommates will not sign off on the new lease that would exchange my friend with the new leasee.
Her current roommates bring illegal narcotics into the residence, party to all hours of the night (she is a current college student) and leave the house in utter filth. She has documented these events with photos and descriptions. She has filed multiple complaints with the Leasing Authority of her apartment, and they tell her there is nothing she can do because the lease cannot be terminated early.
What is the next course of action? Where would she file a complaint and in what court?
