Cost to move in

$8,900, and no fee
to anybody.

Most Boston apartments at this rent ask for four months up front, because a broker takes one of them. There is no broker on these apartments, so that fee simply does not exist.

What we ask for

Nothing unusual, and nothing you cannot gather in an afternoon.

  • Photo identification for each adult
  • Proof of income, or an offer letter if you are starting a job
  • Recent pay slips or bank statements
  • A previous landlord we can call, if you have one
  • A guarantor or co-signer if you are a student, which is completely normal here

Housing vouchers are welcome. If you hold a voucher we assess affordability on your share of the rent only, which is what Massachusetts law requires. We do not screen on source of income.
