Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts
I am a tenant in an agreement with the landlord. I am also the rent payer who ultimately pays the rent to the landlord. I am making a roommate agreement for a potential sublessee and not sure of the regulations or guidelines in the state of Massachusetts. I have had problems in the past with consistent late payments from a previous sublessee and I want to add a clause about a late fee for rent paid late ( after the first of the month). Can I do this and if I can what are the guidelines I will need to follow? Also what are the guidelines regarding asking the sublessee to move out for breach of agreement? And can I charge a cleaning deposit to be held in an interest bearing account and what are the guidelines I will need to follow? Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Have an attorney draw up the sublease agreement as there are many issues that need to be addressed and not enough room here to address them. Feel free to contact the office.
