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.
Springfield Code Enforcement
Springfield has active code enforcement. Track inspection schedules, maintain compliance documentation, and respond to city notices promptly.
Multi-Family Registration
Springfield requires registration for multi-family properties. Track registration renewals and inspection compliance.
Lead Paint Requirements
Massachusetts has strict lead paint disclosure requirements. Generate required notices and track de-leading compliance for pre-1978 properties.
