Important Changes to Residential Rental Listings

In response to new Massachusetts legislation taking effect on August 1, 2025, changes will be made to Pinergy’s online input form for Residential Rental listings on the evening of July 31, 2025. Three fields will be removed from the form: List Brokerage Fee Required from Tenant, List Brokerage Fee Amount, and Cooperating Compensation. For Residential Rental listings that are on the market, under agreement, or recently expired or canceled (going back ten days), List Brokerage Fee Required will be set to “No” and the List Brokerage Fee Amount and Cooperating Compensation fields will be cleared. Users will not be able to edit these fields, since they will be removed from the form. On August 18, 2025, these three fields will be completely removed from Pinergy and will no longer appear anywhere in the system. For more information about the new legislation, please visit Mass.gov.

To reposition a tile, simply grab the icon in the upper-left corner of a tile and drag the tile to where you want it to be. The hamburger menu has been updated as well, providing you with consistent navigation options that are not affected by your tile arrangements. If you’re not quite ready to dive into the new Home page, you can navigate to the bottom of the hamburger menu and select “Use Responsive Home Page” to return to your familiar Home page.
