Stop searching. Here's your place in Boston

• How quickly can I move into temporary housing in Boston through June?

  Most residents move in within 24-48 hours of applying. The application is fully online, and with an average approval time of just 3 hours. Once approved, you sign digitally and receive your access details by email. If you have a hard move-in date, mention it when you apply and we'll prioritize your review.

• What's the application process like? Do I need a guarantor?

  The application is fully online and approvals typically come back within 3 hours. For stays under 45 days, the process is simplified: just your ID, SSN, and a credit score of 650 or higher. No income or savings documentation is required, and no guarantor is needed. For longer stays, standard qualification requirements apply: credit score of 650+ and proof of your monthly income equal to 3x the monthly rent, or savings equal to 36x the monthly rent. If you don't qualify on your own, a personal guarantor can co-sign, or you can use June's partner, TheGuarantors, which can act as your guarantor for a fee. Reach out to welcome@junehomes.com for more information.

• Can I apply and sign everything remotely, before I arrive?

  Yes, fully remote applications are standard with June. You can apply, get approved, and sign digitally from wherever you are. Your access will be sent by email, and you'll pick up your keys on move-in day. No local address is needed to apply.

• Are there any upfront costs?

  After signing, you'll pay your first full month's rent, and a security deposit equal to one month's rent, and any applicable fees. These are all due within 3 days of signing. If you don't stay for a full final month, your last month's rent will be prorated. In Boston, security deposits are held through June's partner Rentable.

• Are furnished apartments and rooms in Boston available? What if I want an unfurnished room?

  Most June listings in Boston are available furnished or unfurnished - just select your preference on the listing before applying. Some units are available as furnished only. If furnishing status is important for your stay, check with our team before booking and we'll point you to the right options. Furnished apartments and rooms come with bed frame and mattress, kitchen essentials, and ready-to-use WiFi. Common areas in shared apartments, including living room, kitchen and bathrooms, are always furnished by June regardless of your choice. Pricing may vary between furnished and unfurnished options.

• Are utilities included in Boston apartments?

  Utilities are not included at a flat rate. Instead, costs are split between tenants based on your move-in and move-out dates. June manages all utility accounts and bills you directly through your resident portal, so there are no separate accounts to set up. A $9 per month utility management fee applies. Bills arrive in arrears, so you may receive a final utility charge after your stay ends.

• What's the minimum stay in Boston?

  The minimum stay is 30 days. After that, days are completely flexible: you can rent for 1 month and 8 days, 2 months and 10 days, or any duration that fits your plans. There's no requirement to stay in fixed monthly increments.

• Can I extend my stay in Boston if my plans change?

  Yes, without a new application. Get in touch before your current period ends and June will handle it directly. The only exception is if a new resident has already secured your space following a priority offer.

• I'm an international professional without US credit history. Can I still apply?

  Yes. If you don't have US credit history, you or a guarantor can provide proof of financial status from your home country, like bank statements or proof of funds. Documents in other languages are accepted, though an English translation may be requested. Each application is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

• I'm relocating to Boston for a new job and my start date is in 2 weeks. Can June help?

  Yes, two weeks is plenty of time. Apply today, get approved within 3 hours, pick your unit across Back Bay, Fenway, South End, or wherever you need to be, and sign digitally. You can have a confirmed Boston address before your first day of work.

• Is temporary housing in Boston cheaper than an Airbnb for a 1-3 month stay?

  Almost always, and often significantly so. Short-term rentals are priced by the night, and those costs compound quickly over the course of several months. For a 2-3 month stay, a furnished June apartment typically costs significantly less than an equivalent short-term rental, while offering more space, a proper kitchen, and the stability of a real home. The longer your stay, the greater the savings tend to be.

• What's the difference between June and a traditional apartment rental?

  Traditional apartment rentals typically require a 12-month minimum, a local guarantor, a credit check, and a 2-4 week approval process. June is built for people who can't or don't want any of that: flexible from 30 days, simplified approval for stays under 45 days, fully furnished, and move-in ready within 24 hours. Same quality of living, significantly less friction.

For travel nurses & healthcare

• I'm a travel nurse on a Boston placement. Does June work for my timeline?

  Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we see. Travel nurse and healthcare assignments are typically 8-13 weeks, which aligns perfectly with June's flexible lease terms. Furnished, move-in-ready rooms and apartments, no guarantor requirements, and fast approvals: make the process well suited to the fast pace of healthcare placements.

• Do you have furnished rooms and apartments near Boston hospitals?

  Yes. We have options near Longwood Medical Area - Brigham and Women's, Boston Children's, Dana-Farber - as well as Mass General, Beth Israel, and Tufts Medical Center. Search by neighborhood or use the hospital filter to find listings by proximity.

• My stipend covers housing. How does billing work?

  June bills monthly through your resident portal with a clear breakdown of rent and utilities. For itemized invoices or stipend reimbursement documentation, contact accounting@junehomes.com.

• Can I book back-to-back assignments from the same Boston place?

  Yes, extensions don't require a new application. Let June know before your current dates end and they'll do their best to keep you in the same unit. If that's not possible, they'll find something comparable nearby so you're not starting from scratch between assignments.

For interns & co-ops

• I only need housing in Boston for 10 weeks. Does June work for that?

  Yes - a 10 or 12-week summer or co-op stay is one of the most common booking lengths we see in Boston. 30 days is the minimum and you can extend if your program runs longer.

• What Boston neighborhoods are best for interns?

  Back Bay, South End, and Fenway are the most popular - central, transit-accessible, and close to the major employers in biotech, finance, and consulting. Allston and Brighton are more affordable and well-connected to BU, BC, and the Green Line.

• Can two interns share a furnished apartment in Boston?

  Yes. You can browse full apartment listings together and apply separately. If both applications are approved, you'll co-sign the lease and split the cost of rent and utilities. If you don't already have a roommate in mind, June can help match you with a compatible roommate through the platform.

For remote workers & nomads

• I'm not sure exactly when I'll leave Boston. How does that work?

  Book what you know and extend as needed. Keep in mind that early departures require 60 days notice and a surrender fee. Booking a shorter stay and extending later gives you more flexibility than the reverse.

• Is the WiFi in Boston apartments fast enough to work from?

  Wi-fi is included and managed by June, and it's set up before you arrive. For speed details on a specific listing, just ask before applying.

For corporate relocation

• How does temporary housing in Boston compare to a corporate serviced apartment?

  Corporate serviced apartments (think Oakwood, Sonder, or extended-stay hotels) are typically priced at a significant premium - they target expense accounts, not individuals. June offers a similar experience - furnished, flexible, move-in ready - at market-rate pricing, without the corporate markup. The experience feels more like living in a real home than staying in a business hotel.

• Can I expense a June Homes Boston stay through my company?

  Yes. June provides invoices and itemized receipts through your resident portal. Contact us through the tenant's app for any format your finance team requires.

• We're relocating multiple employees to Boston. Can June handle group bookings?

  Yes. Contact welcome@junehomes.com directly, we can find options in the same building or neighborhood across Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and the Seaport to keep your team close.
