Plaintiff rented at 26 Sanderson Avenue, Lynn, MA beginning October 15, 2025 at $900/month. During the tenancy, the premises had serious unresolved defects, including repeated roof leaks causing water to drip onto Plaintiff’s bed and mattress, and a promised downstairs bathroom that was never made functional.

Plaintiff notified Defendant promptly and repeatedly, beginning October 31, 2025, including text notice, a written repair request dated November 26, 2025, and a Chapter 93A demand letter dated January 7, 2026. The leak recurred on multiple occasions over approximately three months, damaged Plaintiff’s mattress, disrupted use of the bedroom, and substantially interfered with Plaintiff’s use and enjoyment of the premises. Defendant acknowledged the issues and promised repairs, but failed to correct them within a reasonable time.

Plaintiff vacated on January 31, 2026 due to the unresolved conditions. Defendant also retained Plaintiff’s prepaid February 2026 rent/last month’s rent of $900, despite Plaintiff not occupying the premises in February.

Defendant’s acts and omissions breached the implied warranty of habitability and caused damages. Plaintiff seeks rent abatement, property damage, return of prepaid February rent, and any other relief the Court deems proper.

Damages: rent paid $3,150; 45% abatement $1,417.50; mattress damage $300; unreturned prepaid February rent $900. Total requested: $2,617.50.
