Apartment does not meet MA Sanitary Code

Hello, I recently signed a studio condo for rent (10 month lease). Paid pro-rated rent for this month and the lease already started few days ago. Went to check the unit, which did not have multiple defects that are not fixed as promised by the landlord, one of which includes window repair, as none of the windows does not open/close even an inch. In addition, there are no screens installed for the windows.

According to the state (MA) law, it states that the rental units need to have a functioning window & screens installed for the summer & fall. I made these complaint to the landlord ASAP, and he promised me that the repairs will be done to match the state law/ Sanitary code, however Im not sure when the work will be completed. Is this a valid reason to not pay him the rent money until the day when the repair work gets finished?

35 y/o woman looking for housing for 9/1

35 yo with 7 yo German Shepherd looking for housing starting September. I’m moving to Boston for school from across the country and unfortunately will have to do zoom meetings for interviews. Ezra is my dog, and she is a service dog, and a very goofy cuddly lady. She gets along with other dogs (usually better with male dogs), doesn’t do well with cats. Open to pretty much anywhere as long as it’s a reasonable commute to the North End via public transit. (I’ve never been to Boston before). I do own a vehicle. Im not a party person, and I will be very busy with school and working a part time job. So preferably a home that values a more quiet environment. That’s not to say I don’t love a game or movie night. I smoke weed here and there in the evenings, but it’s not that important to me to hang on to. My rent will probably max at about $1200, but open depending on the space and location.

My school schedule will be 8am-3pm M-F and I’ll be securing a part time job as well. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to meeting some great people :)

Urgently looking for a room starting 8/31

Hi all, I am urgently looking for a room ideally starting 8/31 since my current lease ends 8/31 at noon. I am 24F and will be working full time as a medical assistant at BIDMC, so I am looking primarily in Brookline/Central Square or whatever is around a ~30 min commute or less to work. In terms of budget, I’d like to stay at around $1500 or less; $1100-1300 range is ideal. Looking for a place that doesn’t have a crazy high amount of upfront fees 🥲

Looking for female or nonbinary roommates only and either a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment. I am clean, respectful, and easygoing and am looking for roommates who are similar. I will be studying for the MCAT for the first half of September, so am looking for a quiet place to call home; not a big party person. Please message me if you have a room available, or know of any leads! Thanks everyone :)

Negotiating Rent Luxury Apartments

Hi all - can you negotiate rent for luxury apartment buildings? I know they are set by algorithm but do they still take offers? Has anyone had any success and what strategy did you use to negotiate? Thanks!

Warning: mold

Posting this as a heads-up for anyone apartment hunting.

We lived in a unit that had a pipe burst back in 2022. Since then, there's been an ongoing water leak in the unit below ours that was never fully resolved. More recently, everyone in our apartment started having ongoing respiratory issues (coughing, congestion, trouble breathing) that just wouldn't go away. This went on for about three months before we brought in a mold inspector, who found mold in multiple locations throughout the unit, including a significant amount under the kitchen sink. The inspector told us this was one of the worse cases he’d seen. Our doctors eventually connected our symptoms to environmental exposure.

Luckily, the landlord didn’t react badly to us bringing in an inspector. The inspector mentioned that a lot of landlords get upset or defensive when they find out about the inspection.

Honestly, the landlord came across as a really sweet person, and I assumed that meant they'd look out for us. In hindsight, that wasn't the case.

We ended up breaking the lease and got our secure deposit. We had to throw away almost everything we owned. I recently checked the new listing for the unit, and based on the photos, the kitchen (where the mold was) doesn't appear to have been touched. I can't say for certain what remediation was or wasn't done, but for any rental unit I'd recommend asking directly about water damage history.

A few things I'd suggest for anyone renting in general:
- Ask about any past water damage or pipe issues before signing
- If you notice a musty smell or discoloration, don't wait, get it inspected
- Keep records of any health issues and when they started, in case you need to connect them later
- Know your rights as a tenant in your city around habitability and mold remediation

Happy to answer any questions through DM

Looking for a room in the Boston or surrounding Greater Boston area

Hi! We’re a couple in our 20s/30s looking for a roommate or roommates. We’re clean, quiet, friendly introverts and generally keep to ourselves, so we don’t have guests over often.

I am a recent grad working as a data engineer, and she’s a disabled former PCA currently navigating SSI and hoping to return to school when her health allows. Because of her accessibility and medical needs, 2+ bathrooms would be strongly preferred, and other accessibility-friendly features are a big plus.

We’re looking for a place around *$1,000–$1,100/month (which I know is a stretch), ideally with laundry included, though it is not necessarily a dealbreaker. She is dependent on marijuana for her medical need so, a 420-friendly household would be ideal.

If the parking in the place is included by any chance, we can discuss about taking our monthly budget to 1200-1300 as well.

We’re hoping to find considerate, respectful roommates who appreciate a clean, peaceful home. If you know of a place or are also looking for roommates and think we might be a good fit, please feel free to reach out!

We don’t have a preference on where to live in Boston and so we are happy to discuss if you have a room for us or if you want to join us in search for a house.

1 bath is crazy

Why are there so many 3 bed 1 bath, 4 bed 1 bath even 5 bed 1 bath apartments. I’m trying to move (near) Boston from NC and I can’t imagine having to wait in a queue to use a bathroom. What’s a girl gotta do for a 3 bed 2 bath?…… I’m seeing 3 bed 2 bath full apartments in the area that I want but no one with a bed in one that I can just take (within my budget)

Update: ok whoa some of u guys need to chill on calling me spoiled. Just because u are used to the arrangement doesn’t make me spoiled for finding it unusual especially since this problem doesn’t exist in most of the country. I’m used to sharing a bathroom with my mom but I’ll say it again 4 people to 1 bath is NOT standard so when I saw it i was confused.

I don’t have “money” nor do I want a luxury apartment. I don’t even have a car. I was really hoping to find a 3 bed 2 bath for around 3900 or even a 4 bed 2 bath for like 5k ish? Near Allston newton Brighton etc idk my max budget is 1300 for myself and even that is a stretch if prefer to keep it to it under 1200.
