In the State of Massachusetts you are not permitted to charge and application fee.

MARITAL STATUS
Although Federal Fair Housing Act doesn’t state or specify regulations regarding an applicant’s marital status, the state of Massachusetts does. Requiring an applicant to disclose marital status in Massachusetts is not permitted.

TIP: It's good practice to contact your local housing or zoning office to be sure you are legally permitted to assess such fees and there are no limitations.
