Statewide Virtual Meeting Thu Oct 13: Security Deposits, Last Month’s Rent and Move-in Monies

View Calendar

This presentation will teach how to take move-in monies as a landlord in Massachusetts. We will discuss the four allowable charges:

  • First month's rent
  • Last month's rent
  • Security deposit
  • Locks

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! But we'll show you how to protect your property with a deposit, and how to protect your business with bulletproof compliance.

We will compare and contrast security deposits with last month's rent.

Can you charge a pet deposit? Application fee? Amenity fee? Attend and ask why not.

Attendees will leave knowing what Massachusetts law requires when taking move-in monies and how to operate with peace of mind.

New case law will be discussed!
