Compliance • Organization • Professionalism
Most landlord stress — late rent, failed inspections, legal notices, court issues — comes from one thing:
Lack of systems.
The ACS Landlord Setup Checklist is your blueprint for running your rental property like a professional business — not guesswork.
This structured 10-page system walks you through the essential setup categories every landlord in Massachusetts should have in place.
✔ Administrative & business foundation
✔ Organized documentation systems
✔ Fair and consistent tenant screening procedures
✔ Maintenance & inspection protocols
✔ Structured rent collection policies
✔ Clear communication standards
✔ Move-in/move-out protection systems
✔ Legal compliance safeguards
Inside this comprehensive system, you’ll build:
• Separate landlord banking & bookkeeping
• Digital file structure for all records
• Lease & addendum organization
• Repair & communication logs
• Written screening criteria (Fair Housing compliant)
• Contractor & emergency contact system
• Inspection schedules (including Section 8 readiness)
• Rent ledger & nonpayment procedure
• Security deposit compliance structure
