The MLS Board of Directors created a Residential Rental Taskforce, co-chaired by Michael Hernandez, 360Berkshire Realty and Jason Nocher, Nocher Realty.  They, along with their committee members: Corey Bishop, Paula McLean, Susan Calkins, Claudia Crane, Molly Gillon and Shanna Powell, made a recommendation to the MLS Board to approve a long-term rental property type.  This property type is for rentals of 31-days or more and is not required entry into the MLS.  It will be an optional entry, like commercial and business opportunity are now.  The directors unanimously approved entry of long-term rentals into the MLS and the taskforce has finalized its recommendations for data entry fields and forwarded those to Flexmls for this property type creation.

Staff is going through the final approval right now and programmers at Flex will begin creating the Rental property type.  We anticipate release by the end of March or early April!  Rental agreements, etc. can be found through your digital form platform under the Mass Association of REALTORS form library.
