How to Take a Security Deposit

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.

Let us show you how!

We review the law, the forms you need, and some concrete examples where landlords have made mistakes and paid for renter damage themselves.

 

You'll be ready to take a fully compliant security deposit after this training.
