Operative Text
The personnel of the Rent Board established under the provisions of § 145-2 shall not be subject to the provisions of MGL c. 30, § 9A or c. 31.
Section 145-14 of Salisbury's rental regulations establishes that employees and staff of the Salisbury Rent Board are not covered by Massachusetts civil service laws, specifically MGL c. 30, § 9A or c. 31. This means the Rent Board has flexibility in how it hires, manages, and separates its personnel, outside the standard state civil service framework. The exemption applies to the board as created under § 145-2 of the same chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 145-14, the Rent Board that oversees rental regulations in Salisbury operates with personnel who are not bound by Massachusetts civil service rules. For landlords, this is relevant context when interacting with Rent Board staff, as the board's internal employment structure differs from typical state agencies. Compliant operators generally engage with the Rent Board through its established procedures, understanding that its staffing is governed by local rather than state civil service standards.

Section 145-14 clarifies that the Rent Board created under § 145-2 of Salisbury's bylaws staffs itself outside the Massachusetts civil service system. For tenants, this provision is primarily administrative and does not directly affect tenant rights or remedies, but it does provide context about how the Rent Board is structured and governed. Tenants seeking assistance with rent-related concerns can still bring complaints or inquiries to the Rent Board, and may also consult local tenant-rights organizations for guidance on available options.
