SHORT TERM
BOSTON APARTMENT RENTALS

Many people come to the Boston area with some uncertainty of how long they will stay. Some might be transfer students for a semester or two, researchers, or corporate employees here for a specific project. Maybe they’re someone who wants to test out the Bean Town magic before they settle down in a specific area. They might rent something long-term perhaps on their way to buying a home.

Whatever the case, Grand Central: Boston Apartments can provide you with the most cost efficient solution.

CORPORATE RENTALS

These are apartments that are being rented on a weekly and monthly basis. The apartments come fully furnished and equipped top to bottom. These units are being priced out in comparison to a hotel room stay, so if you compare them to a regular rental rate they are very expensive. The units are usually very well cared for, like a hotel, and include internet connection, cable TV, linen, and a fully applianced kitchen.

For example:
Standard hotel room rates in downtown Boston are, on average, $250 per night. Multiply by 30 nights and you’ve just spent $7500 that month on housing.

Corporate rentals will run about half that. So count on spending around $3000 a month for a one-bedroom or studio apartment in the downtown Boston area.

There are exceptions to that rule but most corporate rentals prices start at for $1400 a month for a studio or $2000 for a two-bedroom.

Grand Central: Boston Apartments can help you book almost any of the corporate rentals in town with out any broker fee.

RENT A SHORT-TERM UNIT, RENT THE FURNITURE TOO

This is by far the most economical way of securing short-term housing in Boston.

What Grand Central: Boston Apartments can do is find a regular non-furnished market-rate apartment that would accept a month-to-month lease or a Tenant-at-Will agreement.

Because Grand Central: Boston Apartments data entry team personally talk to the manager of each unit we list, we are able to find out if the owner is willing to provide a short term lease, then we give you access to a compilation of short term units for market rate.

Once you have secured the apartment, you use a furniture rental company to furnish the apartment to your liking. This will cost you $70-$350 per month depending upon the quality of the furniture and how detailed you want to get. Do you need just a bed? Or do you require a living room and dining room set with chandeliers, a plasma TV and matching area rugs?

Companies that rent furniture in the Boston area are: Cort Furniture, Rent-a-Center and probably a few others.
