A few security deposit slides will motivate a help session where you can bring your own security deposit questions and we will do our best to answer them. Or you can attend without any questions just to watch and learn from others.
Security deposits are one of the primary liabilities for Massachusetts landlords. If you make a paperwork mistake, you might owe your renter three times the amount of the deposit plus attorney's fees. And what a lot of paperwork there is! First receipt, second receipt, annual receipt, conditions statement, withholding receipt, signed under the pains and penalties of perjury... Should you even bother?
Well yes, you can successfully take a security deposit. We'll show you how!
We'll be giving an overview of the law and will screenshare some the forms available on our site
This part of the presentation will be given by Peter Vickery of Bobrowski & Vickery, LLC. Attorney Vickery practices law in Western Massachusetts where he focuses on landlord-tenant law (representing landlords in Housing Court) and discrimination defense (representing business owners in the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination). He graduated from Oxford University (Jesus College) with a BA in Modern History; obtained his Post-Graduate Diploma in Law from the University of the West of England in Bristol; his JD from Boston University School of Law; and his Masters in Public Policy & Administration from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Attorney Vickery served one term on the Governor's Council (the elected 8-member body that approves or vetoes the governor's choice of judges in Massachusetts) and on the State Ballot Law Commission. As Legislative Affairs Counsel for MassLandlords he drafts bills, bill summaries, and testimony in the area of housing law, and writes amicus briefs in cases that have strategic significance for rental-property owners.
