fraudulent checks received from tenant to landlord
We are within the Suffolk county in Massachusetts and have tenants renting our house in Pepperell MA. They owe us about 8000$ in back rent and have written 11 bad checks last year and have only paid 200$ out of 6000$ in rent this year (also have received bad checks this year). Is this a felony? Where can I make a legal complaint and is it something I can do as a citizen without a lawyer in the court?
Thank you very much.

Re: fraudulent checks received from tenant to landlord
You can go to the police where you live and swear out a criminal complaint.
You can go housing court (North Eastern) and seek eviction of the tenants and a judgment for the arrearage in rent. You do not have to use an attorney for summary eviction.
Good Luck.
