The Massachusetts State Sanitary Code (105 CMR 410) sets minimum standards for safe and habitable housing. One explicit requirement is that every rental unit must be equipped with a stove in good repair provided by the landlord.
Other items:
Refrigerators: Landlords are not required to provide them, but if they do, they must be in working order.
Separate meters: Not required for all systems.
Water/sewer: Landlords generally pay unless specific written agreements allow tenant billing (with proper metering).
Thus, the universal requirement is a stove in good repair.
