MA Residential Lease Agreement
A fully formatted, legally structured Massachusetts residential lease — not a generic template downloaded from the internet.
Most free lease templates were written for another state, ignore MA-specific requirements, or leave the hard parts blank. This one was built from the ground up for Massachusetts landlords — covering every section required under Massachusetts landlord-tenant law, with your actual rights and obligations written in plain, enforceable language.
What's included:
- 17 numbered sections — parties, lease term, delivery of premises, rent and late fees, utilities, occupancy limits, maintenance, parking, fire and casualty, insurance, entry and inspection, indemnification, breach and abandonment, attorney's fees, notices, and lead paint disclosure
- Security deposit terms — M.G.L. Ch. 186 §15B compliant language built directly into the lease
- Lead paint disclosure + tenant certification — full MA/federal required disclosure with checkboxes and tenant initials, included as a standalone section
- Addendum A — 15 additional provisions — no smoking, no pets, parking rules, guest policy, plumbing rules, smoke detectors, eviction attorney's fees, and more — with tenant initials on every item
- Maintenance Repair Cost Schedule — itemized damage costs (broken doors, lost keys, unauthorized items, vehicle tow, etc.) signed and initialed by tenant at move-in
- Consolidated signature page — landlord and up to three tenants on one clean page
- Statement of Condition — room-by-room move-in condition table with landlord and tenant signature blocks
- Security Deposit Receipt — MA-compliant with bank account disclosure fields and interest rate
Built for: Massachusetts landlords who want a lease that actually holds up — one that documents the tenancy correctly from day one, limits disputes at move-out, and reflects what MA law actually requires.
Instant download. PDF + editable Word version included. Not legal advice — but the most complete MA lease template available outside a law office.
