The defendant tenants appeal from a Housing Court judgment
for the plaintiff landlord on its summary process complaint, the
denial of relief on certain of their counterclaims, and from the
award of nominal damages on other counterclaims. The landlord
appeals from the denial of its motion to dismiss the tenants'
appeal. The Appeals Court dismissed the tenants' appeal on
timeliness ground, and we granted further appellate review. We
conclude that the tenants' appeal is timely, and that the
landlord's summary process complaint must be dismissed because
the summons and complaint were served within fourteen days of
the tenants' receipt of the notice to quit. We affirm the
judgment with respect to the tenants' counterclaims.
