About this statute

This part sets rules for commercial leases, including implied lease terms, landlord powers, notice requirements, distress for rent, overholding tenants, and re-entry or forfeiture remedies. The law limits what a landlord can seize for rent, allows seizure of some animals in specific places, and sets special rules for overholding tenants and rent recovery after bankruptcy or lease renewal events. A landlord generally cannot enforce a right of re-entry or forfeiture for a remediable lease breach unless notice is served and the tenant fails to remedy or pay compensation within a reasonable time. A tenant may apply to a Supreme Court judge for relief, and the Commissioner may make regulations about prescribed forms.
