The defendant also argues that the plaintiffs’ failure to provide names of nontenants engaging in unlawful acts was fatal to the plaintiffs’ c. 121B claim. We respond to this argument by noting that the express language of § 32D does not require the plaintiffs to provide the landlord with names of specific persons; it requires that the landlord have “actual or constructive notice of [the] unlawful conduct” (emphasis added).
