Amesbury, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 376 § 376-12 establishes a rental assistance credit for qualifying residents living in class one residential properties within the City of Amesbury. The credit amount is tied to the Massachusetts circuit breaker income tax credit found in MGL c. 62, § 6(k), and is adjusted each year by the Department of Revenue. This provision creates a financial benefit for eligible renters rather than imposing a restriction or obligation on any party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CH. 376 § 376-12, the rental assistance credit is directed at qualifying residents rather than property owners, so landlords of class one residential parcels in Amesbury are generally not the primary actors under this provision. Operators who want to support resident eligibility typically ensure that tenants have accurate information about the property's classification, since the credit applies specifically to class one residential properties. Staying informed about annual adjustments made by the Department of Revenue to the underlying MGL c. 62, § 6(k) circuit breaker credit can help landlords answer basic tenant questions accurately.
