Start with the decision behind your search
BU’s campuses and student routines vary. Compare an actual apartment address with the campus building and schedule you will use rather than searching by a university name alone.
Compare options using the same criteria
Check current BU resources; compare routes, roommates, unit condition, lease dates, and all costs; verify that a listing is active before applying.
Confirm before you commit
Ask for costs, dates, and responsibilities in writing. Availability, accepted documents, and screening vary by property and landlord. Verify the listing, authorized representative, and payment recipient before sharing documents or money. Review the Massachusetts Attorney General’s guide for tenants and seek qualified advice for individual legal questions. Share your timing and housing needs with Rita through the rental inquiry form.
