Start with the decision behind your search
A car-free housing choice depends on actual transit service and the routes you take, not just a map label. Consider groceries, work or school, late trips, accessibility, and winter walking.
Compare options using the same criteria
Test a typical weekday and late return; check transit hours and walking segments; price monthly passes and delivery; verify what is reachable from the exact address.
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.
