What Does Property Management Cost in South Boston? (2026 Pricing Guide)

If you own a rental property in South Boston, you’re probably asking:

How much does property management cost — and is it worth it?

Most South Boston property management companies charge 8–10% per month, plus full-month placement fees and renewal charges.

At South Boston Property Managers, we keep it simple, transparent, and straightforward.

And right now — we’re running a limited-time special.

 

📊 Our Pricing (Simple & Transparent)

🏷️ 6% Monthly Management Fee

Just 6% of collected rent.

No sliding scales.
No hidden add-ons.
No inflated percentages.

This is below the typical Boston-area range — and it includes full-service management.

⚠️ 6% is a promotional rate valid through 3/31.

 

🏡 50% of One Month’s Rent – Tenant Placement

Massachusetts law changed, and many brokers now charge landlords a full month’s rent to place a tenant.

Our current special:

50% of one month’s rent to place a new tenant
(valid through 3/31)

This includes:

  • Professional listing & marketing
  • Showings
  • Credit & background screening
  • Employment verification
  • Lease preparation
  • Move-in coordination

And once they’re in?

🚫 No Lease Renewal Fees.

Many companies charge again at renewal. We don’t.

 

🔧 Maintenance – Passed Through at Cost

You pay exactly what the licensed vendor charges.

✔ No markups
✔ No hidden margins
✔ No surprise admin fees

Just transparent billing.

 

📈 What You’re Really Paying For

Professional management isn’t just rent collection.

You’re getting:

  • Strong tenant screening (to avoid costly mistakes)
  • Compliance with strict Massachusetts landlord laws
  • Faster leasing & reduced vacancy
  • Maintenance coordination
  • Financial reporting
  • Protection from legal exposure
  • Someone else handling tenant issues so you don’t have to

Massachusetts landlord law is complex. One security deposit mistake can cost thousands.

Professional management protects your investment.

 

🤔 Is It Worth It?

For most South Boston condo and small multi-family owners, it comes down to:

  • How quickly can you lease your unit?
  • How much is your time worth?
  • Are you comfortable navigating MA landlord law?

If management reduces vacancy by even a couple of weeks, prevents one bad tenant, or avoids one compliance mistake — it often pays for itself.

 

🚨 Limited-Time Special (Ends 3/31)

For new clients signed by March 31st, we are offering:

  • 6% Monthly Management
  • 50% of One Month’s Rent for Tenant Placement
  • No Lease Renewal Fees
  • Maintenance at Cost

After 3/31, standard pricing will apply.
