Included in flat-fee management
Caught before it becomes a problem.
Deposits, notices, and required disclosures checked against current Massachusetts law — the same statutes that carry triple damages when they’re missed. We keep you on the right side of them, quietly, before a mistake turns into a claim.
- Deposit handling checked against M.G.L. c. 186, §15B
- Notices & disclosures issued within the required windows
- Reviewed as the law changes — not once at move-in

The mistakes that cost the most
Massachusetts is unforgiving. We’re careful for you.
Deposits, done to the letter
Separate account, statutory interest, receipts, and the statement of condition — the exact points where a slip triggers triple damages. We check each one.
Notices with the right timing
Rent increases, entry notice, and termination notices carry specific windows and formats. Get one wrong and it’s void — so we track and issue them correctly.
Disclosures, before move-in
Lead paint, smoke & CO certification, and the required forms are handled and filed up front — not remembered after a tenant’s attorney asks for them.
Kept current as law changes
Statutes and case law shift. We re-check your practices against what’s current — so a lease written correctly in 2023 doesn’t quietly fall out of step.
What we check
The list that keeps landlords out of court.
You’ve read the statute twice and you’re still not certain. That’s the point of this — a standing checklist run against every unit, so the uncertainty isn’t yours to carry.
- Security deposit & last month’s rent handling
- Deposit interest & required receipts
- Smoke & carbon monoxide certification
- Lead paint disclosure & notification
- Notice periods for entry, increases & termination
- Fair-housing alignment in ads & screening
How we keep you covered
A standing review, not a one-time check.
- Step 01
We audit what you have
When you come on board, we review existing leases, deposits, notices, and certifications against current law — and flag anything already out of step.
- Step 02
We fix and file correctly
Gaps are corrected the right way — deposits re-documented, disclosures issued, certifications scheduled — and everything is stored in your portal.
- Step 03
We re-check on the calendar
Deadlines and renewals are tracked, and the checklist is re-run as the law changes — so nothing quietly falls out of compliance between reviews.
Questions about compliance.
Is this legal advice?
No — we’re your managing agent, not your attorney, and we don’t provide legal advice. We apply well-established Massachusetts requirements to your properties and flag anything that needs a lawyer’s eyes.
What if I’m already out of compliance?
We’ll find it in the onboarding audit and walk you through correcting it — re-documenting a deposit, issuing a missing disclosure, scheduling a certification — before it becomes a claim.
Why does Massachusetts matter so much here?
Because the deposit statute carries triple damages plus the tenant’s attorney fees. An honest paperwork error can cost you multiples of the deposit — which is exactly why we’re meticulous about it.
Is compliance review an add-on?
No. It’s part of the flat $149 per unit, per month — the same fee whether your portfolio needs a light check or a full clean-up.
