Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts

As a landlord in Mass, with the plan to sell the house in next year, what's my best option to create a new lease? shall I do "tenant at will" or to create a clause in a one-year lease (Nov - Oct) for 60-day notice early termination?

Thanks in advance!

Based only on the limited information in your post, my advice would be to execute a written month-to-month tenancy-at-will. You will not be able to pinpoint the month that your house will sell, and this would provide you with more flexibility. If you do not yet have an attorney partner to help you as a landlord, please feel free to contact my office.
