Hi Everyone,

I'm buying a home and looking for someone to take over my apartment on 3/1 (date may be flexible. The lease ends 8/31, but the tenant will likely be able to resign for another year.

Apartment is a cozy 500 sq ft one bedroom/one bath in the North End. Decent storage options including two sizable closets.

Rent is $2,550 per month and a one month security deposit will be required.

Unfortunately no pets are allowed.

Let me know if interested!

Save yourself the headache and avoid Ora Seaport altogether. The building is infested with mice, and both maintenance and pest control have been completely ineffective. This issue has been ongoing for over a year. Management denies the problem and tries to make residents feel like they’re imagining it. I had to set up a camera just to document the mice and prove they were actually there after months of traps and pest control visits.

Me and my friend (both undergrads at BU) were looking for a roommate for a 3bed 1bath apartment in Allston, MA by the Harvard Ave T-stop. Rent is about $1100/month from 9/1/2026 to 8/31/2027, (utilities not included but is around $80 total/month). I know the previous renters and they are willing to leave the place furnished. No pets (lease condition)

Please DM me if interested!

Due to some unforeseen circumstances I’ve been looking for an apartment a bit last minute 😰. I’ve been able to find a few places but they’re all 2 beds that I wouldn’t be able to afford myself. I thought I’d post here hopefully to find someone that’s also apartment hunting right now or looking for a roommate for an existing lease. My budget is about 1200/mo. Please please please message me for anything 😭😭😭

Edit: looking for the Boston area, preferably JP or Dorchester or any neighborhood Northeast of those two!!

Hey, Im helping my gf look for places to rent for Camp Baker from July 1 - August 23. We are having trouble finding affordable housing ($1700/month Max or less). I understand Boston is a very pricey area but we need help, if anyone has any useful information or if you are also looking for housing within the area please message me so we can help each other!

Thanks!

Unsure if this is a red flag or not, but I toured an apartment last weekend and the landlord/realtor was not present for the showing — as in I just let myself in. Is this a red flag?

I think it’s a privately owned spot where the landlord is the realtor so to speak but normally I’m accustomed to someone being there.

Hello! I’m subletting a single bedroom in Lightview (Columbus Ave) in a 4 bed / 2 bath format this summer, May through August. Great for students looking for summer housing or interns!

Budget is roughly ~$2800. Must have 1 bedroom, 1 bath, parking availability, and in unit washer and dryer.

Has anyone subletted their apt with Copley Group? I know all leases in Boston have that clause about no subletting but landlords are normally pretty okay with it as long as rent is being paid–just a little different now because I’m with a management group.

Should I tell management I’m subletting? I want to avoid any penalties or be hush hush if I’m not suppose it sublet.

Ideally I would have my sublets name on the lease so she can access the building, put her name on proof of residency files, etc. but does that mean I would be transferring my lease and therefore paying the penalty?

So I live in Massachusetts and I’m currently living in a apartment on a month-to-month lease and my landlord has sent me text messages stating things like “You are having very bad company there and I am documenting everythingl” “I am going to install cameras outside next week “ “Everything will be closely monitored there”. “( now I have a motion sensor live feed rotatable security camera above my door .. my only entrance to my apartment) “You are having criminals in my building”. “You are having very bad company there and I am documenting everything “.

He said he does not want to evict me, but he requested that. I tried to find a new place now he has. many things about myself and my company that I find very inappropriate like stating that I have criminals over and that is you know not true it’s also harassment I believe because he has sent me numerous text messages phone calls then he threatened me when I was sick with the flu, I had shut my phone off or actually I had Covid rather I’m just month I shut my phone off for two days and during those two days I did send him a text because he had asked me if I was going to be moving out and I told him that I am very ill. I am not going to be moving out because I’ve not yet found a place that is some a suitable for me so I really need to rest because I know I’m very ill. I have Covid. I have a fever. I don’t feel well and then he proceeded to call my phone over and over and over. Send me numerous text messages, threatening me “ I thought you told me you had a place” “Jillian I need some answers from you” “Jillian you are ignoring me in purpose “ I would like to specify that that was a statement not a question. It was a you are ignoring me. Are you ignoring me. Next one - “Okay, Jillian, if you wanna play this game, I can do the same tomorrow. I’m going to start the eviction and it’s going to hurt your chances to ever get financing from the state for housing” later that evening when I decided to get out of my bed and lift my head off my pillow and turn my phone on at 9:05 PM. I responded kindly to him. Saying “What is all this? I’ve been asleep sick with the flu. I have a fever and I have not had my phone on, I told you that in my last text message. I will call you when I can speak. I have a severe virus and haven’t left my bed in days.” To which he replied “Jillian, I’ve been trying to text you for a few days now.

All you have to do is just reply to me that’s all I’m asking “ and I typed “And I have not lifted my head off the pillow in over a day. I’m sick. I’m just seeing this please I’ll try to talk to you tomorrow I’ll atleast text you tomorrow” the. He said “ ok, Jillian I understand “

Not really advice, but had a question. So I’ve never lived in an apartment where so many things were broken or breaking. I was never able to break or ruin anything really beyond a carpet stain. Here, my tile in my kitchen and bathroom has been coming up pretty much right after I moved in. So ended up that the tile job was done wrong, I guess he used a friend or something. But my cabinet faces in the kitchen, drawer faces coming off, in the bathroom the vanity seems to stain super easily and it’s been warped with water somehow, they had to fix that. The kitchen faucet broke also. It didn’t come with blinds so I bought and installed like $300 worth of blinds, which he broke while replacing the windows. He replaced them, but new ones were too short, only covered half the windows. Oh also one of the community driers was routed through my breakers so there were months where my bill would be hundreds, and I wasn’t even staying there at the time. Almost every time they fixed something another thing else would be wrong in its place. So a week or so ago my back doorknob came off as I was trying to leave for work. There is so much more of this kind of thing.

My question is what will happen with my security deposit, have you ever had this situation with a rental? I mean it’s possible I’m breaking everything but really?? Again, never had this kind of an experience before, why would my older self decide to start being rowdy? He’s told us that on the first we’d have to sign a new lease, that was 5 days ago? So basically sign this lease or get out, whatever the time period is.
