Massachusetts Security Deposit Demand Letter

A Massachusetts security deposit demand letter is sent to a landlord that has failed to return a security deposit within the period permitted by law. If the landlord wishes to claim damages for unpaid rent or other non-compliance, they may deduct the costs from the deposit if they provide a list detailing the damages and corresponding costs.

Laws

Tenants in Massachusetts are entitled to receive their security deposit within 30 days after their lease or rental agreement expires. A landlord that neglects to refund the security deposit and provide a list of deductions (if applicable) within the 30-day period may relinquish their right to any amount of the deposit and their eligibility to submit a counterclaim against the tenant for damages.[1]
