Lease terms

BASIC LEASE TERMS -Lease term is 12 months at the listed price shorter terms may be possible at a higher monthly rate. -Rent is due on the first of the month. -Online payment by bank transfer (ACH) is free; card payments carry a processor fee, which is disclosed in the lease. MOVE IN COSTS - Due at lease signing and before keys: First month's rent $3,300 ( to be prorated based on negotiated lease start date) Last month's rent $3,300 Security deposit $3,000 The actual cost of a lock change Max Total: $9,600 plus the lock change. The security deposit is set below one month's rent deliberately. I know move-in costs are the hardest part of renting, and this is one place I can try to make it even just slightly easier. Massachusetts law permits a landlord to collect only those four items before a tenancy begins, and I don't collect anything else -- no pet fee, no admin fee, no move-in fee. HOUSE BASICS - One dog, 50 lbs or under, is welcome, subject to my written pet policy and my insurance carrier's requirements. Zillow's pet field caps the weight limit at 40 lbs. My actual policy is one dog up to 50 lbs. Larger or additional dogs may be possible just ask. Cats are not permitted as pets. -No smoking or vaping of any product at any time inside the house. -Service animals and emotional support animals are always welcome regardless of species, size, breed, or number, at no additional cost, and requests for reasonable accommodation are handled promptly and confidentially. -Occupancy is governed by the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code (105 CMR 410.400). APPLICATION PROCESS: Every applicant is evaluated against the same written criteria, which I'm glad to send you before you apply just ask. Income from any lawful source counts: employment, self-employment, retirement, disability, child support, public assistance, and housing vouchers are all welcome. If you have a housing voucher or rental assistance, the income standard applies only to your share of the rent, not the full $3,300. Screening is free to you. There is no application fee and no screening fee I order the screening and pay for it myself. Once you've applied, I'll send you a secure link from the screening service to complete your part. You'll enter your identifying information directly with them; I never see or store it. I am unfortunately unable to take application screenings through Zillow because it is not compliant with Massachusetts application fees law. It charges applicants a fee that the law does not permit me to pass along. Applicants will need to provide contact information for housing references covering the most recent 24 months. I contact prior housing providers directly and ask each the same factual questions: dates of occupancy, monthly amount, payment timeliness, any balance owed at move-out, whether proper notice was given, and any documented lease violations. Applicants without 24 months of third-party rental history are not disqualified. Any of the following satisfies this criterion: documented mortgage payment history; payment records plus a written statement from a family member or private housing provider; documented on-time payment history on another recurring obligation; a letter from a transitional, shelter, or supportive housing program; documentation of military, student, institutional, or medical housing; or a qualified co-signer. An unpaid balance owed to a prior housing provider is disqualifying unless satisfied or under a documented payment arrangement. I do not ask applicants about eviction history and do not consider sealed eviction records. Where a non-sealed housing court judgment appears, it is reviewed individually. Everyone 18 or older who will live here needs to be listed on the application and screened. Everyone who will live here, of any age, needs to be listed.
