Start with the decision behind your search
A virtual tour is a way to inspect details, not an ownership or availability guarantee. Ask the representative to show the outside entrance, exact unit, windows, appliances, water, and any issues that matter to your household.
Compare options using the same criteria
Request a live unedited walkthrough; ask for the address and unit number; compare the tour with the written lease; independently verify who is authorized and do not pay solely because a tour occurred.
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.
