Info. From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 11/21/2006 Years at this apartment: 2002 - 2006 1 response   Just to inform everyone....application fees (regardless of what they are called) are illegal in the state of MA. "Under Mass. General Laws, ch.186, '15B, at the beginning of the tenancy, your landlord may charge only: rent for the first month; rent for the last month, calculated at the same rate as the first month; a security deposit equal to the first month's rent; and the purchase and installation cost for a key and lock. This does not mean a key deposit. The law does not allow a key deposit." You also have the right to request a receipt for the rekeying of your apartment to ensure the cost has not been increased. If they say that isnt so just call the MA consumer affairs number at 888-283-3757 and ask them.
