I want to make sure Im prepared with the correct documentation to rent out my condo and would appreciate all opinions if im missing anything: - I have the rental application- I have my rental property agreement that I will have the renter sign and make copies of and provide them a copy.- I have the statement of condition that I will have the renter sign and make copies of and provide them a copy.- I will have them provide a copy of their tenants insurance for my records. - Will provide receipt for first and last months rent.- Im thinking of not charging security deposit because of all the strict MA laws and just using the last months rent as a sort of security deposit, thoughts?
