Security Deposit Escrow (Required)
Massachusetts requires security deposits in separate interest-bearing accounts at MA banks. Track escrow, calculate 5% interest annually, and generate required statements.
Last Month's Rent Rules
Last month's rent is NOT a security deposit under MA law. Must be kept separate, earn interest, and cannot be used for damages. Track both correctly.
Chapter 186 Compliance
Generate proper receipts within 30 days, provide statement of condition, and maintain all required records under MA General Laws Chapter 186.
Historic Building Requirements
Many Lowell properties are in historic districts. Track any additional requirements for mill building conversions and National Historic Park regulations.
UMass Lowell Student Housing
Manage academic year leases, handle co-signers, and coordinate September turnovers for the growing university population.
Lead Paint Requirements
Massachusetts has strict lead paint disclosure requirements. Generate required notices and track de-leading compliance for pre-1978 properties.
