If your lease states a year but requires you to vacate in 9 months and then asks for a new lease with additional payments, you may have grounds to dispute this. Review the exact wording of the lease regarding termination and renewal. Massachusetts law may protect you from unfair lease terms. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
