You can search for apartments that will become available for rent during this month on this page. That way, you won’t waste a lot of time and effort barking up the wrong tree. This page includes specific information and tips for finding apartments for rent during the second month of the year in neighborhoods throughout the city, so it’s a great resource for anyone who needs to rent a place starting in this month.

Basic Information

As a general rule, the second month of the year is not a busy time for apartment leases to come up for renewal. Since turnover tends to be pretty low, you won’t face nearly as much competition as you would in, say, September. However, this month also falls during the depths of winter, when highs average 39 degrees, lows average 25 degrees and approximately 11 inches of snow fall on the city. This isn’t a fun time of year to be moving apartments, and this may actually be beneficial to you during your search.

When to Start

By availing yourself of our convenient search feature, which allows you to search for apartments that will be ready to lease on the first day of this month, you can find what you need faster. Although this isn’t a very competitive month to find rentals in Boston, you will still need to give yourself plenty of time if possible. Around 30 to 45 days should work, and you should plan to begin looking by no later than mid-December. Giving yourself more time may also allow you to negotiate better rent prices as landlords are sometimes anxious to lease units at this time of year. Availability tends to be low across the city, however, so you will have fewer options at your disposal.

Tips for Finding an Apartment in Boston

The best piece of advice when it comes to finding Boston apartments for 2/1 is to sign up with Boston City Properties. However, timing is just one aspect of successfully securing an apartment in the city. Some other tips include:

• Narrow your geographical search area – Before doing anything else, figure out which Boston neighborhood or neighborhoods suit your needs not only in terms of lifestyle and logistics but in terms of price too.
• Establish a reasonable budget – Determine how much you can afford to spend on monthly rent, and remember to keep additional costs like utilities and pet rent in mind.
• Be available – Don’t start inquiring about apartments unless you will be available to go and take a look. Even during slow times of the year, like this month, apartments don’t tend to last long. Boston City Properties can refer you to a local agent who can assist you in this regard.
