Massachusetts Security Deposit Law is Complicated. Join MassLandlords for Clear Answers and Countless Benefits

If you collect a security deposit, you MUST do 3 things:

  1. Deposit the money in a specific kind of bank account.
  2. Give your tenant a specific receipt within a specific timeframe.
  3. Pay your tenant interest on a specific schedule.

(There's even more to do before withholding the security deposit to cover damages!)
