Until recently, the assisted living facility community had asserted that the statutes and regulations regarding the landlord-tenant relationship did not apply to their facilities. With a landmark decision by the SJC late last year, it is now clear that such facilities are subject to those laws. Attorneys advising such facilities or their residents must familiarize themselves with the requirements of those regulations and statutes.
In this new program, learn the history of litigation in which trial courts have addressed this issue in the context of termination of relationships and the holding of monies by residents, and understand the impact of the holding by the SJC. The experienced faculty discuss the most crucial aspects of landlord-tenant laws that might present a host of issues and traps for the unwary, including focusing on the application of the security deposit statute and the regulatory requirements relating to the creation, maintenance, and termination of the resident in the assisted living facility.
