In reaching these conclusions, the Court relies on Serreze v. YWCA of Western Massachusetts, Inc., 30 Mass.App.Ct. 639 (1991).4 There, the YWCA sought to evict plaintiffs from housing provided pursuant to a transitional housing program, alleging that the plaintiffs were clients in a temporary treatment program, and, as such, licensees not statutorily protected under landlord-tenant law. Recognizing that “the regulatory scheme underlying the transitional housing program suggests an intention to ‘depart from traditional concepts of the landlord-tenant relationship,’ ” the Serreze court found that “the existence of a classic ‘tenancy’ ... is not dispositive, for G.L.c. 186, §14, does not require such a relationship for statutory protections to attach.” Serreze, 30 Mass.App.Ct. at 642-43.
