HOME RULE PETITION WHEREAS, Prospective tenants in Salem are often required to cover broker fees, along with the first and last month's rent and a security deposit—expenses that can total up to four months' rent; and WHEREAS, The limited availability of housing in Salem allows property owners to charge broker fees to tenants, even if the tenants didn't request these services, exacerbating inequalities in a market with few rental options.; and WHEREAS, According to the Salem Housing Road Map, the average Salem rental household would need to spend more than half of their income on rent to afford the average unit in the city WHEREAS, Real estate brokers and agents who handle property sales, rentals, or leases are governed by sections 87PP to 87DDD1/2 of chapter 112 of the Massachusetts General Laws and Title 254 of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR), which mandates the written disclosure of broker fees to potential tenants under 254 CMR 7.00.; and WHEREAS, Research consistently highlights systemic housing discrimination by real estate brokers. The 2020 study Qualified Renters Need Not Apply by The Boston Foundation and Suffolk University Law School found that brokers contribute to inequities and called for the elimination of broker fees. The 2023 Fair Housing Trends Report by the National Fair Housing Alliance recorded a surge in housing discrimination complaints, including racial bias in rentals. Additionally, investigations by the Housing Rights Initiative uncovered widespread discriminatory practices.; and  CITY OF SALEM MARCH 27, 2025 REGULAR MEETING WHEREAS, Legislative proposals aimed at banning tenant-paid broker fees for landlord-requested services focus on improving affordability and flexibility by lowering upfront costs and removing financial obstacles. These proposals also enhance renter protections and promote fairness by requiring licensed brokers or agents to work with only one party—either the tenant or the landlord—and ensuring that broker fees are paid exclusively by the party who hires the broker, creating more transparency and fairness in rental housing transactions.; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDERED: That a petition to the General Court, accompanied by a bill for a special law relating to the City of Salem, to be filed with an attested copy of this Order be, and hereby is, approved under Clause 1 of Section 8 of Article II, as amended, of the Articles of Amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to the end that legislation be adopted precisely as follows, except for clerical or editorial changes of form only: — PETITION FOR A SPECIAL LAW RE: AN ACT REQUIRING THAT BROKER FEES IN THE CITY OF SALEM BE PAID BY THE PARTY WHO SOLICITS A LICENSED BROKER Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, in Salem, any individual licensed or registered under sections 87PP to 87DDD1/2 of chapter 112 of the General Laws who performs real estate brokerage activities may only enter into a contract with a prospective tenant to help find residential or commercial rental property, present an offer to lease to the landlord or their agent, and negotiate on the tenant's behalf. Alternatively, they may only contract with a landlord or their agent to find a tenant for a property. Any fees must be paid exclusively by the party—either the landlord or tenant—who initially hired and contracted with the licensed broker or agent. SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage. Councillor Davis stated he hopes we join other communities. He spoke with the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board (Filipe and Chris Malstrom) and even if fees were passed on in other ways to the tenant it’s not as exorbitant as the broker fees up front. He also spoke with Rep. Manny Cruz who stated this is being done Statewide but the more cities who do this will help with this. Councillor Cohen addresses the misinformation. He asked if there was a rule attached to it and Councillor Davis said there was not. But there is. It's similar to other ones that have gone forward. We have both approved Home Rule petitions that have rules and some that haven't. And in many cases, if you don't have a rule, it's easier to get it approved. The Legislature have two Home Rule petitions that are moving forward. I don't actually feel that this is redundant. First, of all, the House Bill,#449 and the Senate  CITY OF SALEM MARCH 27, 2025 REGULAR MEETING bill was referred by both parties by both Houses to the Joint Committee on Consumer Protections and professional licenses. That is really important. That is a big step in the legislative process. Governor Healy has already come out and said that she would sign whatever Bill came out of that conference. But I want to really talk about a problem I have with the language of this home rule petition. In my mind, with the housing crisis that we have, and hope everyone read the actual wording, the actual rule which, even though was passed by other communities, this is not as pro-tenant pro-renter as much as the State legislation is. So let me give you an example. We have a housing crisis. Landlords typically in this time don't struggle to find tenants, but renters really have a hard time, and in many cases the renter is the person who is bearing the burden. In this Home Rule petition before it says, any fees must be paid exclusively by the party, either the landlord or tenant, who initially hired and contracted with the licensed broker or agent. So, if the renter is struggling to find an apartment and hires a broker under this Home Rule petition, the renter pays that. Let me read the State Bill so you can all see the difference. This is House Bill #449. No licensed real estate broker, or other person or entity engaged in the rental or leasing of residential real estate in the commonwealth, as agent of the landowner, landlord, lessor, or sub lessor shall demand, receive, or retain any payment, fee, commission, or other charge from a tenant or prospective tenant for any services on behalf of such Landowner, landlord, lesser, sub lessor. No landlord, no landowner, lessor or sublessor, shall demand or require that a tenant or prospective tenant, retain, hire, or engage a rental agent or broker, and pay such agent or broker a fee or commission as a condition to applying for or leasing a residential unit in the Commonwealth, and no such landlord, lessor, or sublessor, shall demand or require that a tenant or prospective tenant make any payment in violation of subsection. B. of this act. Under the Home Rule petition before us if the renter initiates contact, hires the broker, the renter pays the fee. This is not eliminating the fee. I support the state bill that says, no matter what, the renter does not pay the fee. There's been a lot of misinformation that this Home Rule Petition; it infers that it eliminates the fee for the renter. It does just the opposite. Council Davis states he will support strengthening the language of the Home Rule petition in committee to more closely match the State language. Councillor Hapworth stated I think we're all mostly on the same page with this here. I think this is what committee is for, to take a look at the language and talk through it in committee. Councillor Merkl is happy to support it and that it is going to committee and having further discussion and conversation. Councillor Morsillo asked if this should be a resolution in support of the State’s Home Rule Petition instead of our own Home Rule Petition.  CITY OF SALEM MARCH 27, 2025 REGULAR MEETING Councillor Davis stated procedurally expressed to him by State Rep. Cruz a home rule petition would force more attention to it. Councillor Cohen stated that’s not true. Home Rule Petitions can die. Rather do a Resolution. Should withdraw this and bring in a resolution at the next meeting. Councillor Hapworth stated there’s to much to discuss. This should go into Committee and can be changed to a resolution in Committee. #165 – (#126) – APPROPRIATION OF $25,000.00 FOR TESTING WASTEWATER FOR THE AVIAN FLU Councillor Merkl offered the following report for the Committee on Administration and Finance. It was voted to accept the report and adopt the recommendation. The Committee on Administration and Finance to whom it was referred the matter of Appropriation of $25,000.00 for costs associated with conducting wastewater surveillance for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), also known as H5N1 Bird Flu. This funding will cover one (1) year of surveillance of all associated costs for analyzing wastewater samples conducted by Biobot Analytics has considered said matter and would recommend that the matter remain in committee. #166 – COMCAST TO INSTALL CONDUITS ON FEDERAL STREET A hearing was ordered for April 10, 2025 on a petition from Comcast to install conduits on Federal St. for service at 160 Federal St. #167 – HAWC WALK AND USE OF CITY STREETS – JUNE 8, 2025 A request from HAWC to hold the 33rd Annual HAWC Walk and 5K RUn and use of City Streets on June 8, 2025 at 10:00 AM was granted. #168 - #170 – GRANTING CERTAIN LICENSES The Following License Applications were granted.
