Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Re: Landlord's rights under

Are you the CT owner of a MA condo to whom I just gave a

a thorough explanation about the handling of a security

deposit in the event of a sale? Did I scare you off from

making a lease?

What city is this condo in, may I ask? Please respond directly.

I think there are a few more important issues about renting out

your condo than the one(s) you've raised. There's an excellent

booklet available on the Internet for free from one of the premier

landlord/tenant attorneys of Massachusetts, entitled "How to be

a Landlord and Stay Out of Trouble" [in Mass.] to which

I will steer you if you contact me directly and so request.

To respond to your question briefly is difficult. The only advantage

for landlords that t/w present over lease is the

legal right to terminate for no cause during any

month. Overall, leases (generally written by

attorneys for landlords) increase the landlords'

pool of rights vis-a-vis tenants while giving

tenants only that one advantage. (But I do

understand the importance of that one advantage,

too.)

Anyway, there are more important factors. Write me

if you want some big-picture advice.

Where's your condo?
