Massachusetts has some of the strongest tenant protections in the country, governed by M.G.L. Chapter 186 (Estates for Years and at Will) and Chapter 93A (Consumer Protection). The state's security deposit law (M.G.L. c. 186 §15B) is particularly strict — violations can result in treble damages. Getting your lease wrong in Massachusetts is costly.
Massachusetts caps security deposits at the first month's rent and requires landlords to hold deposits in a separate, interest-bearing account at a Massachusetts bank. Landlords must provide a receipt within 30 days, a statement of the account's condition annually, and return the deposit within 30 days of lease termination. The state also requires a detailed statement of condition at move-in. Boston, Cambridge, and other cities previously had rent control, which was repealed statewide in 1994.
SignAI generates your Massachusetts lease with every required provision — including §15B security deposit compliance, statement of condition, interest payment obligations, lead paint requirements under Chapter 111 §197A, and Massachusetts-specific governing law clauses. Each lease is built to current Massachusetts standards.

FAQ
Yes. A signed lease is enforceable under Massachusetts law (M.G.L. Chapter 186). SignAI's e-signatures are valid under Massachusetts's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (M.G.L. c. 110G) and the federal ESIGN Act.
Massachusetts law (§15B) strictly limits what landlords can collect: first month's rent, last month's rent, a security deposit equal to one month's rent, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. No other upfront fees are permitted. Charging a finder's fee, application fee, or move-in fee can result in treble damages.
Landlords must deposit funds in a separate, interest-bearing account at a Massachusetts bank within 30 days. A receipt with the bank name, account number, and deposit amount must be provided to the tenant. Annual interest must be paid or credited. After move-out, the deposit must be returned within 30 days. Violations of §15B can result in treble (3x) damages.
Massachusetts law requires landlords to provide a written Statement of Condition within 10 days of move-in, detailing the current condition of the unit. The tenant has 15 days to review and return it with any amendments. If the landlord fails to provide this document, they may not deduct from the security deposit for damages.
Massachusetts landlords must serve a 14-day notice for nonpayment of rent and a 30-day notice to quit for other reasons. After the notice period, the landlord files a summary process action in housing court. Massachusetts courts may grant stays of execution, and tenants can cure nonpayment before judgment. Self-help evictions are illegal and can result in significant penalties.
