Start with the decision behind your search
Compare the exact address-to-campus trip, not the city boundary. Route transfers, walking, building location, and your schedule can matter more than a nominal distance.
Compare options using the same criteria
Test morning and late trips; compare unit and budget, lease terms, errands, and transit; verify the specific property and availability.
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.
