What Brookline owners should know

Keeping the property clean and in good repair. Brookline stays on top of property conditions more than many towns, so a clean, well-kept building matters here. We schedule regular cleaning, upkeep and inspections to stay ahead of issues.

Security deposits. Massachusetts security deposit rules are strict, and small mistakes can be costly. We handle deposits according to Massachusetts law.

Preventive HVAC service. Regular service on heating and cooling systems is key. It helps avoid no-heat emergencies in winter and expensive replacements in the middle of a lease.

Snow removal. Many Massachusetts cities and towns do not allow snow removal to be passed to tenants, and that is generally not allowed where there is shared common space. It is also better to have insured contractors clear snow. We coordinate insured snow removal, cleaning and landscaping for our owners.

Billing tenants for water. In Massachusetts, you can bill tenants for water only if a licensed plumber has installed submeters and certified low-flow fixtures, the local board of health or inspectional services has approved it, and the lease says so in writing. Many owners and managers miss this, and it is the law. See the Massachusetts water submetering rules.

Taxes and reporting. Many property expenses are tax deductible. We keep clear records and can help create reports for you and your accountant.

What we handle

Tenant screening and placement, rent collection, maintenance and vendor coordination, inspections, renewals and turnovers, and help with tenant and neighbor disputes. See all of our services. See also property management in Boston and property management in Chestnut Hill.
