Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.14
Duties of the Board
Operative Text
Certified copies of all policies, rules and regulations of the Board shall be forwarded to the City Clerk who shall forward them forthwith to the City Council.
Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.14 establishes a transparency and record-keeping requirement for the Rent Equity Board. Any policies, rules, or regulations the Board formally adopts must be certified and transmitted to the City Clerk, who is then obligated to pass them along to the City Council without delay. This creates an official paper trail ensuring that the Board's governing decisions are accessible to the City's legislative body.

Under Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.14, the Board's policies and rules become part of the official municipal record once they are certified and forwarded through the City Clerk to the City Council. Property owners and managers who want to stay current with Board regulations can monitor City Council records and City Clerk filings as an authoritative source for any newly adopted rules. Operators generally review these forwarded documents to ensure their practices align with the Board's current policies.

Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.14 means that the rules governing your tenancy under the Board's jurisdiction are not kept behind closed doors — they flow through official city channels to the City Council and City Clerk, making them part of the public record. Tenants who want to understand the Board's current policies can request copies through the City Clerk's office or review City Council records. Tenant-rights organizations in Boston can also help residents locate and interpret the Board's certified rules and regulations.
