Norfolk County does not register rentals. Quincy requires annual rental registration and inspection (Ch. 11.16). Brookline requires rental registration under Art. 8.26. Weymouth has no general rental registry.
Rental registration in Norfolk County is purely municipal. Quincy Municipal Code Chapter 11.16 requires all residential rental units be registered with the Inspectional Services Department annually; inspection required every 5 years with fees around $50/unit. Brookline General Bylaws Article 8.26 (Rental Unit Registration) requires registration of all non-owner-occupied residential rentals through the Building Department with periodic self-certification. Weymouth does not operate a general rental registry but enforces the State Sanitary Code 105 CMR 410 on complaint. All MA rentals must comply with 105 CMR 410 (minimum housing standards), lead paint disclosure (MGL c. 111 §197A for pre-1978 units), and MGL c. 148 §26F (smoke/CO detectors — seller/landlord certification). Dedham, Randolph, and several other Norfolk towns also operate lodging house or rental inspection programs.
Quincy: $100/day per unit for unregistered rentals. Brookline: $300 per violation, per day. State Sanitary Code 105 CMR 410 violations: local BOH orders, tenant rent-withholding remedy under MGL c. 239 §8A.
