Start with the decision behind your search
MIT employees may work in different campus buildings and have distinct schedules. Use your actual building and hours to compare housing rather than assuming all MIT-related work is centered at one entrance.
Compare options using the same criteria
Confirm office, lab, or appointment address; check campus transport and transit; review employer resources; compare private rentals independently and confirm lease terms with the property.
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.
