Renting Out a Property in Andover
Andover sits where I-93 and I-495 cross, a little over 20 miles north of Boston, with two stops on the MBTA Haverhill Line: Andover station near downtown and Ballardvale station in the village of Ballardvale. That combination of highway and rail access is a big part of the town’s appeal to renters who work in Boston or along the 495 belt.
Andover is a town of distinct villages. There is downtown and the Historic Mill District by the train, the planned Shawsheen Village, Ballardvale on the Shawsheen River and the quieter west side. Phillips Academy, founded in 1770, sits near downtown.
Much of Andover’s housing is single-family, with condos and apartment communities as well. The town rezoned the Historic Mill District near Andover station and has been planning transit-oriented, mixed-use development there.
Services
What We Handle for Andover Owners
One team for the tenant, the rent, the repairs and the books.
Tenant placement & leasing
Andover renters often weigh the commute on I-93, I-495 or the Haverhill Line and which village the home is in. We market the property with that in mind, screen applicants and prepare the lease. Tenant placement and leasing services
Rent collection
Rent is collected and reconciled every month in Buildium, so you can see what came in and what went out. How our rent collection works
Maintenance & repairs
Larger single-family homes come with lawns, long driveways and more systems to look after. We handle service requests, repairs and renovations, plus snow and grass, through our network of contractors, plumbers, painters and handymen. Property maintenance and repairs
Accounting & reporting
Monthly owner statements, expense tracking and bill pay, and year-end 1099s and tax-ready reports, overseen by a founder with a CPA background. Rental property accounting
Good to know
What Andover Landlords Should Know
A few rules and local realities that come up with Andover rentals.
Security deposits and last month’s rent
At move-in a landlord may collect only first month’s rent, last month’s rent, a security deposit of no more than one month’s rent, and the cost of a new lock. Deposits must be held in a separate interest-bearing account at a Massachusetts bank, with a receipt to the tenant within 30 days, and returned within 30 days after the tenancy ends.
Broker fees since August 1, 2025
Massachusetts now requires the party who hires a broker to pay the broker’s fee. If you hire someone to market and lease your Andover home, that cost is yours and cannot be passed on to the tenant.
Heat from September 15 to June 15
The State Sanitary Code requires heat of at least 68 degrees from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and 64 degrees overnight during the heating season, and no more than 78 degrees. Older or larger homes can have uneven heat, so check every habitable room before the season starts.
