Flemming provides a litany of reasons why it should be illegal for landlords to charge extra rent for pets, but, whatever merit there is to those arguments, they are properly directed to the Legislature. Our role is to interpret statutes as written, see Pielech v. Massasoit Greyhound, Inc., 423 Mass. 534, 539 (1996), cert. denied, 520 U.S. 1131 (1997), and, here, the plain language of § 15B (1) (d) does not support Flemming's claim of a statutory violation.
