It amazes me that people still are not utilizing the MassCourts website at www.masscourts.org. Evictions are public records. In fact, once you file your summary process case, it goes into the database and becomes a public record. Anyone can look at the database. It’s FREE to view and you don’t need an account to do it. The only thing you need is a device connected to the internet that can use a browser.
Fill out the top of the form:
“Housing court” then choose which housing court. Worcester county uses Central Housing. The 4 western Mass counties use Western Housing.
PRO TIPS:
Try alternative methods on the spelling of a name. Leave off the last few letters
District Courts also can hear housing matters, not as often but it does happen. Check out the district courts too
People move so check the other housing courts.
Remember, this is only a name match. There is no date of birth, license number, or SSN to confirm identity.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY TOOL YOU USE WHEN VETTING AN APPLICANT.
