KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Eviction is a legal process through the courts.

Your landlord cannot evict you without a court order. It is illegal for a landlord to change the locks, throw out your belongings or pressure you into leaving.

Receiving a 14 day notice does NOT mean you must leave your home after 14 days.

———————————————————————-

CONOZCA SUS DERECHOS 
El desalojo es un proceso legal a través de la corte. Solo un juez puede ordenar un desalojo.

El propietario no lo puede desalojar sin una orden del juez. Es ilegal que el propietario cambie las cerraduras, bote sus pertenencias o presione a un inquilino para que se vaya.

Recibir un aviso de desalojo en 14 días NO significa que necesita dejar su vivienda después de 14 días.

The City of Chelsea will launch two new programs in November to help residents comply with the state’s updated solid waste regulations requiring the recycling of mattresses, box springs, and textiles such as clothing, bedding, towels, and footwear. The City will offer free curbside collection of these items so that they can be taken to specialized recyclers.

For mattresses and box springs, residents who receive municipal trash service can call our 311 call center to schedule a pick up for a Monday or Thursday. The City is contracting with Boston Carting and HandUp Us to collection and recycling.

For textiles, the City has signed an agreement with Helpsy, an organization that will pick up and recycle these items free of charge. Residents can call 311 or use the Helpsy website to schedule a curbside pickup for Tuesday of each week.

311 operators will be able to talk to residents about the type and condition of items before scheduling the pickup to ensure that only approved items are put our for collection.
