Where a case is filed matters
Venue and court division depend on the property location and case type. Landlords should verify the correct court before filing or arranging delivery.
Service is one stage of the case
The Notice to Quit, summary process summons and complaint, motions, orders, and other documents may each have distinct service or delivery requirements.
Court information can change
Schedules, forms, standing orders, filing procedures, and local practices should be verified through the official Massachusetts court system at the time of the case.
