The Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act (M.G.L. c. 93A) prohibits unfair and deceptive business practices. It applies to a broad range of commercial transactions, including real estate transactions. The law is designed to protect consumers from unethical practices and to ensure transparency and fairness in the marketplace.
This act does not specifically apply to homeowners selling without a broker, nor does it protect tenants from personal property disputes or only from deceptive practices in landlord-tenant law. It is a comprehensive law aimed at regulating the business practices of all commercial entities, including real estate professionals.
