Start with the decision behind your search
Compare the precise MIT building with potential addresses, transit and class schedule. Housing cost and commute can vary by block in each city.
Compare options using the same criteria
Test travel time and transfers; compare full rent, unit, lease, roommate and services; verify current listings.
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.
