Short Term Rentals & Furnished Apartments in East Cambridge, Boston, MA

Availability and Booking

Can I move in early or late?

Moving in early depends on your scheduled move-in date, the current tenant’s move-out date, and whether we have enough time to clean the room before you arrive. If you wish to move in earlier than the scheduled date, you may be able to do so for an extra fee of $50, but only if the conditions mentioned above are met. After your scheduled move-in date, you can move in at any time. Please contact our sales team for any specific questions about your stay.

Can I cancel my lease?

Of course, you can! Given it’s a legally binding document, terms and conditions apply, so please reach out to our team to inform you of the fee associated with terminating your lease early. You can also find more information here if you have already moved in or here if your move-in date hasn’t come yet!

Can the lease be extended?

The short answer is yes, depending on availability! Don’t worry though, you will always have priority over any incoming tenant and we will reach out to you to confirm whether you intend to further extend your stay before we sell your room. In the event we do not hear back and the room gets sold, we will be there to help you find an alternative option!
