An Attorney State
Massachusetts is considered an attorney state, meaning that all residential real estate transactions require a lawyer to represent the seller and a different lawyer to represent the buyer. This ensures someone is looking out for each party’s best interest, and has no conflict of interest. As a buyer, your lawyer can prepare your offer as well as assist you in specifying clauses for the transaction. As a seller, your lawyer will be extremely helpful in evaluating any offers and the legal terminology that they include.

Help for Boston Renters
As a renter, it can be difficult to know exactly what your rights are, but a real estate lawyer at DiBella Law Offices, P.C., can help you understand what your landlord must provide as a part of your rental agreement. For example, a landlord must provide snow removal in Boston, as well as units free of rodents and insect infestation. In the kitchen of the unit, the landlord must furnish a functional sink and a stove with an oven (but not a refrigerator). And from September 16th until June 14th, your landlord must provide a means of heating every room to at least 68 degrees. If your landlord is not providing a safe and functional place for you to live and refuses to correct issues that you are bringing to his or her attention, then DiBella Law Offices, P.C., will assist you in getting these issues corrected. You have a right to a habitable rental property, and we can help you get it.
