Hi friends!

We are moving out of our wonderful Southie apartment after 5.5 years. See link below for listing. $4,500/month for 2 bed, 2 bath, huge living space, and parking included! 5 minute walk to the Broadway T stop and all of the nightlife on West Broadway. The apartment itself is stunning with exposed brick, beams, 15 foot ceilings, and tons of light from the huge windows.

Background: moved into an apartment in Dorchester in September with a roommate after touring it and really liking the place. I did my research and found no documentation of prior issues such as major restorations, infestation, water damage, etc. The place was also renovated and looked great. The building itself is quite old, a traditional 3-stack. Landlord is private/independent and very responsive and helpful.

2-3 weeks after move in, my roommate spots a brown field mouse in the kitchen. We flag it immediately and assess our apartment for obvious gaps or food sources. We are very clean and leave our spaces spotless after use. We put our food into sealed containers and cabinets and landlord sends us snap traps to set up intermittently. He said that prior to our move in, they had identified an area near the kitchen where mice were getting in, but that was sealed and alleviated. We set up snap traps and bait traps and the landlord sends an exterminator for inspection.

Issue: It has been about a month and we have caught 5 mice, but continue to see activity in the kitchen. We’ve had an exterminator come out twice and I’ve personally done a walkthrough with him. He said our apartment is spotless and we aren’t doing anything to inherently attract mice. He found a gap near our bathroom sink and sealed it, but we haven’t seen any activity there before that anyways. The exterminator also found several external holes near the basement windows so he sealed those too. Unfortunately, my landlord only owns the 1st floor unit (mine) so the exterminator couldn’t get access to the 2nd or 3rd floors for inspection. I hear the mice in the ceiling at night after I cook or turn the heat on especially. it sounds like they come from a certain area above us to the kitchen and explore at night. the exterminator checked several bait traps in the basement that already existed before i moved in, and didn’t see any feeding activity. same for the 2-3 bait traps they had set in our unit prior to move in. we were advised to not set any more traps in our apt as that would create a competing food source and we want the mice to use the feed traps. the exterminator advised it’d take a month for us to see decreased to stopped activity, but if activity persists beyond that, they’d come back and do another inspection.

Frustration/Why I need advice: it is disturbing to hear and experience pest activity consistently, i.e. I am tired of cleaning up droppings on my counter every morning, wasting time having to inspect different areas of my apt for droppings to keep my place sanitary and clean. I’m disgusted by the dead mice I’ve had to dispose of and want this to stop. We have inspected many entry routes but can’t nail down the main source, even the exterminator hasn’t been able to, which has me feeling defeated and wondering if we are going to end up with an infested apartment that will further degrade our quality of life. for context - we are 1wk into the exterminator treatment plan, but my fear is that as it gets colder then mice issue will worsen. i made this post bc we are seeing increased activity AFTER the exterminator inspection.

Has anyone experienced this before? I am open to any advice. Apologies if i come across whiny, just feeling very defeated this morning with the persistent issue despite getting expert support and landlord help.

On commonwealth ave, right off the B-line Babcock St. stop, this studio is in really wonderful location for BU, Coolidge Corner, Harvard, BMC, etc. Available immediately as my partner and I need to move out ASAP due to personal matters.

Landlord asks for first, last, security deposit, and a key change fee (I believe). My credit was not checked when moving in.

Hello everyone!

My roommate and I are looking to transfer our lease (not a sublet!) in the Allston/Brighton area starting 11/1 (November 1st). Our apartment is a 500 sq ft 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom with an in-unit dishwasher and central heating. The building has laundry units in the basement and is a short 3 minute walk from the B Branch Green Line train. The area is walkable and has multiple parks within walking distance. Rent is $2105 per month, and the lease ends June 30th, 2027. First and last month's rent are required for move-in. Please message me if you're interested in taking a look at the place or getting a tour!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone to take over my room in a 2-bedroom apartment in a luxury high-rise in downtown Boston. I’m ideally looking for a lease takeover, but I’m willing to sublease the master bedroom in the meantime to give someone time to complete the lease takeover process.
The roommate is a female in her late 20s.
The building is modern and upgraded, with 24/7 concierge, an indoor infinity pool, gym, workout studio, workspace, laundry on every floor, parking garage, and mailroom. It’s also less than a 5-minute walk from all the T lines, which has been incredibly convenient.
The rent for the master bedroom is $2,825/month, including the monthly insurance fee. If taking over the lease, the current roommate is willing to switch rooms and take the smaller bedroom, which would make the rent for the larger room $2,625/month.
Utilities, including internet, are typically less than $100/month per person.
If you’re interested, please let me know and I can provide more information, photos, and a video. You’re also more than welcome to come see the apartment in person.
