Renting Out a Property in Beverly

Beverly is a coastal North Shore city just across the Danvers River from Salem, and it is where the MBTA Newburyport/Rockport Line splits. That gives the city several commuter rail stops: Beverly Depot downtown, North Beverly on the Newburyport branch, and Montserrat and Beverly Farms on the Rockport branch.

Route 128 crosses the city, with Routes 1A, 62 and 127 connecting the neighborhoods. Beverly is home to Beverly Hospital, Endicott College and the Cummings Center, the large office campus in the former United Shoe Machinery complex.

The housing runs from older multi-family homes near downtown to single-family streets in North Beverly and the oceanfront estates of Beverly Farms and Prides Crossing, with condos throughout. A downtown two-family near the train and a single-family in North Beverly are different jobs, and we manage each one that way.

Good to know

What Beverly Landlords Should Know

A few rules and local realities that come up with Beverly rentals.

Older homes and the Massachusetts lead law

Many of Beverly’s homes near downtown were built before 1978. Under the state lead law, before a lease is signed on a pre-1978 rental, the owner must give the tenant the Tenant Lead Law Notification form and any lead inspection or compliance letters. If a child under six lives there, the unit must be deleaded or brought under interim control.

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. After the tenancy ends, the deposit, minus any lawful deductions, is due back within 30 days. Deductions for damage need an itemized list, sworn under the pains and penalties of perjury, with estimates or receipts.

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. Coastal wind can make older homes hard to heat evenly, so check every habitable room before the season starts.
