940 CMR 8.00 defines unfair or deceptive acts or practices. They are not intended to be all inclusive as to the types of activities prohibited by M.G.L. c. 93A, § 2(a). Acts or practices not specifically prohibited by 940 CMR 8.00 are not necessarily consistent with M.G.L. c. 93A or otherwise deemed legitimate by the absence of regulation here.

940 CMR 8.00 shall cover any mortgage lender or broker advertising or doing business within Massachusetts, regardless of whether or not the lender or broker maintains an office in Massachusetts.

940 CMR 8.00 applies to all residential mortgage loan transactions in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as more particularly defined in 940 CMR 8.00, except that it does not apply to either:

(a) reverse mortgages governed by M.G.L. c. 167E, § 7; or

(b) open-end home equity lines of credit. 940 CMR 8.00 also excludes reduced interest rate mortgages originated under the auspices of affordable housing programs which are administered by state, quasi-public, or local government entities.
