Start with the decision behind your search
Ask the property whether a guarantor is required and whether it evaluates a parent abroad. Each private landlord sets its own process within applicable law.
Compare options using the same criteria
Get criteria in writing; read any guarantee; confirm term and liability; compare other verified options before paying to apply.
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.
