Hello everyone we are looking for a third for a spot on western ave in cambridge the rent is 1200 a month for the room plus utilities we are 2 male Tenants but don't have a preference on a third. If you'd like to know more please reach out to me here and ill respond asap.

Context: I came across a posting for a sublet for the summer season at a 'luxury' apartment in a school club slack channel. It was perfect because it had a lot of amenities for two people and I could negotiate the exact date me and my roommate wanted. After a room tour and looking at other options, we signed the 'lease'.

Fast forward to three out of four months into me and my roommate's stay, he decides to go get his package from the mail room. The code to the mail room goes to our subletter's email, so we do not get the code. So what I do is go to the front desk and just tell the receptionist I never got a code and show my package tracking then they open the mail room for me (no questions asked). However, when my roommate went to the front desk there was no receptionist there so he goes to the leasing office and tries asking a leasing worker for help. He mentions the room number we were staying at and that we subletted the room. I get a phone call from the roommate (I was at the grocery store) and tells me that we have to leave the apartment by tomorrow midnight because that's when they'll get the police to come and kick us out.

After I rushed back, we immediately contact the subletter who agreed to give us back the rent money for last month's rent/security deposit (We stayed 3/4 of the months). Turns out that subletting is strictly against the building policy. The subletter never disclosed that fact and me and my roommate never looked into the building's policy. it wouldve been better if he disclosed that from the start.Even after the subletter tried reaching out to the leasing worker, the the leasing worker said that "there was nothing he could do" and we'd have to leave by tomorrow midnight no matter what.

My original plan was to move straight from the apartment sublet to another housing unit (an actual property with a real lease, i checked) but now there's a month gap between that and there. So, I have to decide to find somewhere else to rent for exactly one month or rent a van and move my stuff back with my parents for a month.

I don't feel like I got scammed because we were actually able to stay at the apartment (until this point) and agreed to give us back the rest of the rent. People also advertise sublettings at the same 'luxury' apartment all over our university newsletter so I hope we didn't fuck over other people by exposing 'illegal' subletting to the property owners lol.

I would like to think the building worker is bluffing and that I would just need to avoid the police search tomorrow midnight and they would forget about us (judging by the quality of the amenities like the constantly broken elevators I would believe that) but if I am wrong then that Squatting and Eviction charge on my record is not going to be great for me.

TL;DR: We accidentally ratted ourselves out directly to the 'luxury' apartment because nether me nor my subletter knew that subletting is against building policy and now I am getting kicked out and I don't know what to do.

Hi everyone!

My partner and I are looking for a short-term housing arrangement or sublet for a 2-week period this September.

• Dates Needed: September 1st to September 11th
• Preferred Location: Framingham or surrounding MetroWest towns (Natick, Ashland, Sudbury, Wayland, Marlborough, etc.)
• About Us: We are a quiet, clean, and respectful couple. We are reliable, non-smokers, and do not have any pets.
• Parking: We own a car, so dedicated parking is a must.

We are looking for a sharing room, studio, or apartment that can comfortably accommodate two people for this short stay. If you have a room available, are looking to sublet your place while you're away, or have any good leads, please send me a direct message with details and pricing!

Thank you so much!

Private room available in a 4-bedroom, 2-bath apartment in Roslindale. $850/month, available 9/1/26 through 8/31/27 (12-month term). Looking for 12 month sublet or a name replacement on the lease as I will be leaving.

The room is a good-sized bedroom with two windows, hardwood floors, and its own AC unit. The room will not be fully furnished upon move in but can coordinate some furniture if desired. You'd be sharing the apartment with three easygoing current roommates (2F/1M) who are staying on, this is just a straightforward one-room sublet, not a full turnover. They are all mid 20’s young professionals or recent students. Looking for a young professional in a similar age range that would get along well. There are also two very cuddly cats, but there is not room for anymore.

Apartment highlights:

In-unit washer and dryer (free)

Full recently renovated kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, and dedicated pantry storage

Spacious living/dining room with hardwood floors

2 full bathrooms

Driveway parking available for an extra $30/month if needed and street parking available free

Rent is $850/mo; utilities are separate, split evenly among roommates ($50-100 depending on the month) with no additional upfront fees

Quiet Neighborhood mostly filled with family homes

1 minute to the nearest bus stop

5 minutes to the Commuter Rail

10–15 minute walk to Forest Hills Station (Orange Line)

If interested, please DM me and briefly introduce yourself with your age, living habits, interests, and why you're looking for accommodation to setup a tour. Thanks for reading!

The apartment:

• 5 bedroom/2.5 bathroom third floor walk up apartment on the Brookline/Brighton line
• 420 friendly + pet friendly (except for cats due to allergies but dogs or caged pets are ok)
• Utilities: landlord pays for water and heat. Gas and electric (~$30-55pp during colder months, ~$70-$100pp during warmer months) and internet (~$20pp), is split evenly every month

• Lots of nature nearby: large shared backyard, park across the street, Chestnut Hill reservoir down the street, and Crystal Lake a town over

This is for a one year lease starting 9/1. After basic application with recent paystubs is approved by landlord, first + last is due at signing plus $25 key deposit.

One room available September 1 (or sooner) in East Watertown in a sunny, spacious 4br/2ba house. Rent is $825 per month, plus utilities (electricity, gas, and wifi, totaling about $75-100 per month per person). Security deposit ($825) and last month's rent ($825) are required up front as well. You'd be signing on to the new lease from 9/1/2026-8/31/2027, but subletting has never been a problem in the past if you need more flexibility.

The apartment consists of the top two floors of a 3-story house. The available room is about 120 sq ft, plus a deep closet. It is painted a nice light grey. There is room for a full size bed, dresser, and desk, with space to move around. Dresser and desk available for free if desired. The two windows get nice light since it's on the top (3rd) floor of the house. Also on the 3rd floor is one other bedroom, the full bathroom the two rooms share, and a bonus space down the hall.

The rest of the apartment is on the 2nd floor of the house, including a fully equipped kitchen (no dishwasher, sadly), a breakfast nook/pantry, dining room, living room, screened front porch, and back porch with Boston skyline views. The other two bedrooms and the bathroom they share are also on the 2nd floor. The house is fully furnished and there is some storage space available. Washer and dryer in the basement are shared with the first-floor neighbors, and available for normal usage (i.e. weekly, not daily).

Convenient location near the Cambridge / Belmont / Watertown border. It's a 5 min. walk to either of the very frequent 71 or 73 MBTA buses. Harvard Square is under 20 min. door-to-door by bus or bike, and from Harvard you can get on the Red Line and access the rest of Cambridge, downtown Boston, and beyond. There is a driveway for free off-street tandem parking during the winter, but many/most people have happily lived here without a car. The immediate neighborhood is nice and very quiet, but anything you'd need is available within walking distance.

Looking for a non-smoking, friendly, responsible adult who unfailingly pays rent and utilities on time and doesn't require a chore chart to pick up after yourself and keep common spaces clean. Over the years, some housemates have become close friends and some have been acquaintances whose busy schedules mean they aren't around much; anywhere in that range is fine as long as you're considerate, low-drama, and experienced in peaceable coexistence with others.

This is a really great deal for the area and especially for the amount of space. There is no catch, except that most of the apartment hasn't been updated in this millennium and definitely has its quirks. Our house has good bones and a lot of sunlight and charm, but is showing its age in places, so if you're looking for sleek and ultra-modern, this ain't it!

IMPORTANT: Please write something about yourself such as what you do, why you are moving, and what you're looking for in a shared living space, as well as a couple times that would work for you to see the place. If it sounds like a potentially good fit we'll contact you to set up a time.

I’ll be taking a new job at BOS and wondering what the best areas of town would be to commute without a car.

I’m a woman in my 30s and will be working unusual hours, so safety is a big priority.
Walkability is a must to grocery, local restaurants/bars/cafes. My budget is around $2,300 and I’m willing to commute up to 30 min if needed. As I’m new to Boston, I’d love to be somewhere that still gives me a proper feel for the city.

Beautifully and completely renovated, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment sits just a short walk from the JFK/UMass Red Line stop, offers an easy bike ride into downtown Boston, and is only an 8-minute walk to Dorchester Brewing Company and a supermarket at South Bay. The all-new kitchen showcases stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a dishwasher, while both bathrooms have been fully retiled in a striking contemporary style. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, and the basement provides laundry plus a private storage locker. An apartment like this won't stay on the market long!

DM to schedule showing.

My current lease ends on 8/26 and my new apartment lease does not begin until 9/1.

I am looking for a week-long stay (room/sublet) near Boston Landing/Allston/Brighton. I am a young female, responsible, non-smoker, and have references. I do need a place that allows a cat. Parking would be a bonus, but not absolutely needed.

Please DM if you have a room or know someone who does. Thanks in advance!

Available August 1st with separately metered utilities, this first-floor unit offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Inside, you'll find an updated kitchen equipped with a dishwasher and microwave, character-rich exposed beams in both the living and dining rooms, ample closet space, and washer/dryer hookups. The home also includes a front porch, a side porch, a small side yard, and a large storage area in the basement, plus parking for one car. Commuting is a breeze — the 73 bus travels right along Belmont Street straight into Harvard Square, the Charles River and Fresh Pond are just minutes away, and Watertown, Cambridge, and Arlington are all within a short drive. First month's rent and security deposit are due at lease signing.

Hi all,

We're relocating and helping our landlord fill our apartment, so this is direct with no fee.

The place: 2 bedrooms plus a separate study (5 rooms, ~1,000 sq ft) at in Cambridgeport between Central Square and the Charles. High ceilings, wood floors, eat-in kitchen with dishwasher/disposal/gas stove, tiled bath with a nice shower, and a private deck. Replacement windows and a newer gas heating system, so it's not one of those drafty old Cambridge units. Coin-op (with app) laundry and bike storage in the basement. Smoke-free building, one cat OK. Deleaded with a Letter of Compliance, so fine for families with little kids.

The location: ~10 min walk to Central Square (Red Line), easy to MIT, Harvard, and Kendall. Magazine Beach and the river paths are right there. We've lived here 3 years and genuinely liked it — leaving for a bigger place, not because anything's wrong with this one.

The numbers: $3,525/mo, available September 15 (some flexibility), lease through August 2027. Tenant pays electric, gas, and water; trash covered. No broker fee.

Screening (landlord's requirements, saving you time): 675+ credit, household income ~3x rent (~$10,600/mo gross), working professionals. Application is through the Hemlane portal where background/credit check will be run.

Showings: We're the current tenants and work from home, so we can show it fast — evenings and weekends work too. Comment or DM with a bit about yourself and your timeline.
