And you cant ask for the renter to get pet insurance, you cane ask them for a deposit, insurance etc...

At $75/month per unit, it's just not possible to be a PM who will do anything more than deposit your rents.

Hello,I am just getting started in real estate and just recently bought our first investment property and was reviewing landlord tenant law in Massachusetts.I read that "Under MGL 186 § 15B, a landlord is only allowed to collect, as up-front charges to a tenant, (1) first month’s rent; (2) last month’s rent; (3) a security deposit equal to the first month’s rent; and (4) the purchase and installation cost for a key and lock" It also said that all other charges such as application fees, deposit to hold, pet fees, etc were illegal.Is this true?
