Question

I'm a tenant at will, can a landlord ask for a security deposit after 8 months of already living their, In MA.

Also if i decided to move, can he require a security deposit upon moving, This new landlord took over i have no written agreements. But he has made these statements to me!

Any help would be thankful ; )



Answer

A new landlord has the right to ask for a security deposit and you have the right to decline and move. He cannot require a security deposit as a condition of your being able to move out.
