Worcester Virtual Meeting Wed Apr 8: Security Deposit Escrow Subaccounts

Note: based on best practice observed with our first virtual meeting, we've found it best to limit ourselves to a business update plus a single topic. The tour of the website and the review of the sanitary code, previously also scheduled in this timeslot, have been removed and will be scheduled again soon.

Security Deposit Escrow Subaccounts

Professionals know that security deposits need to be held "beyond the claim of creditors of the lessor." Does this mean we have to open an account under each renter's social security number using a W-9? Not exactly. We will discuss security deposit escrow subaccounts, which are tools available to landlords large and small for holding many different security deposits compliantly via online banking under one master account you control.
