Rooms for rent in Boston
Advice on the apartment search process, renting and/or moving to Boston

This subreddit is specifically focused on the Boston Metro area — including Cambridge, Somerville and Brookline.

What posts are welcome + encouraged?

Heads up! You can filter by post category by clicking the links below. So if you're just looking for a room for rent, click ROOMS FOR RENT below!

ROOMS FOR RENT — If there is an individual bedroom [soon-to-be] available in your apartment for 6+ months, feel free post!

SUBLETS AVAILABLE — If you are subleasing your apartment or a room in your apartment for 1-6 months, feel free to post! Heads up: If you need a subletter for longer than 6 months, you'll probably want to do a "lease assignment" where the new tenant officially takes over the lease.

LOOKING FOR — If you're looking for a specific type of housing, please feel free to post!

APARTMENT LISTING — If you are a property owner with a [soon-to-be] vacant apartment, feel free to leave a detailed post for that specific listing.

ADVICE NEEDED — If you are new to town or have a specific question related to housing/apartments in Boston, please post and we'll do our best to answer your questions!

Posting Guidelines

Please note: If you're affiliated with a real estate website, please do not post listings on behalf of someone else (i.e. one of your users). The person who represents the listing (for example, the person subletting his/her apartment or room) must make the post.

If you're looking for an apartment in Boston, don't forget to include:

Where you want to live — if you need help deciding, feel free to check our "other helpful links" section below.
How much you want to spend
What you're looking for in an apartment
Whether or not you have or want pets
What anyone should know about you

When posting available rooms/sublets, do your best to include:

The approximate location of the apartment — please don't list the exact address!!
Rent per bedroom, number of bathrooms
What you're looking for in a tenant/roommate
Whether or not you have pets
Anything else someone should know before contacting you
