What Housing Court handles
Massachusetts Housing Court hears matters involving residential housing, including summary process eviction cases and other housing disputes within its jurisdiction. The court also provides housing specialists and public resources. Process-serving work is only one part of a case; filing requirements, hearing dates, pleadings, and judicial decisions remain matters for the parties and the court.

Using the correct court information
Before serving court-issued housing papers, confirm the case caption, docket information, court location, recipient, service address, and deadline shown on the documents. Do not assume that every landlord-tenant matter in the area uses the same court or the same service procedure.
Massachusetts court pages are the best source for current clerk information, forms, schedules, and procedural guidance. A private process server can carry out an accepted service assignment and document the result, but cannot change court dates, determine legal sufficiency, or give legal advice about the merits of an eviction.
