[quote=Anonymous]I was lucky enough to rent via a friend of my sister in law. They had lived in the apartment 10+ years and they basically "handed in" my application with their notice to vacate. It was definitely beneficial to me (I paid well below market rate and able to live alone), and I think I wore down the property manager calling every day for an update. Maybe they just didn't want to deal with me anymore and gave it to me.

Are you renting for yourself? Your child? Your family?

If you're renting solo - do you have any colleagues that can help get you a lead, start there. I'm not sure if you're planning on roommates, but there ALWAYS seemed to be a roommate situation available - maybe you could do that for a year and see where you want to be after that. That's not a bad strategy given the Boston commutes, trains, etc.

Depending on your duration there, and depending on the number of people renting (based on the question above), you might consider a one bedroom apartment. After I had been in Boston three years, I was shocked that I could have purchased a one bedroom with parking (HUGE) and then sold it when I left. A lot of parents do that for college students.

I'd also see if there's a Next-door or similar type group in your targeted area and start there.

Good luck! I loved my time in Boston! [/quote]
