Central Div. of the Housing Court Dep't, 481 Mass. 830, 851 (2019). "Once the deadline stated in the notice to quit has passed, the landlord may serve his or her tenant" with a summary process summons and complaint to recover possession of the premises. Id. at 852, 860. See Hodgkins v. Price, 137 Mass. 13, 18 (1884). See also Rule 2(b) of the Uniform Summary Process Rules (1993). It is the landlord's burden to "show that [it] gave a notice which complied with the statute. The statute does not proscribe how notice is to be given." See Ryan v. Sylvester, 358 Mass. 18, 19 (1970). It is nonetheless evident that a notice taped to a door is not "given to the tenant," until the tenant receives actual or constructive notice of it. See id., citing cases. In this case, the evidence at trial did not establish delivery of the notice until June 7, 2017, when one tenant testified she received it. Because the summary process proceeding was commenced before the full fourteen-day deadline had come and gone, judgment must enter for the tenants.
