Mike Bedrossian  617 212 2919

To whom it may concern:

Paul Wendt was a tenant in the upstairs apartment of my rental house in Watertown, Mass., for 28 years from 1989 to 2017. The house was owner-occupied for about 10 years.

During that time he always paid his rent and he was a good tenant: quiet, considerate to his neighbors, helpful with the snow shovel and trash or recycling bins.

If you need additional information, you may contact me by phone ______________________ or by email ___________________________.

Sincerely,

_____________________________________________ Mike Bedrossian

Guarantor forms

guarantor form https://www.google.com/search?q=guarantor+form&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

probably the Guarantor form will be broker-specific


 * rentnoho Mass. & saddress --sent to DLW
 * bostonapartments - saddress w Guarantor Credit info --sent to DLW

Diane Oops, there may be no general Guarantor form available, as I thought hours ago. All may be specific to the unit rented (premises); in effect, as a supplement to a particular completed lease agreement.

This one from RentNoHo.com (Your Source for Greater Northampton Rentals), which I mistook as general, is specific to Massachusetts (good) and to the address of the unit.
 * http://www.rentnoho.com/pdf/GUARANTOR-FORM-AS-ATTACHMENT-TO-LEASE.pdf

This one is specific to the broker in its copyright statement
 * https://www.bostonapartments.com/rentips-guarantorform.htm

It provides lots of guarantor data directly.

Others that I find now are specific to the premises, commonly also specific to the broker in the wording; for instance, authorizing the named broker to get certain information such as a credit rating.

That's all on this now. Paul

Jumpshell fee 1 month's rent. Suppose also same broker fee on the other side. And find apartment for 1 year only. Then for instance $1200 listed is equivalent to $1400, rather than $1300 as where there is a fee to the landlord's broker only.

A. You recommend a Guarantor form that is not available (bad URL?) --in essay at "You'll probably need a guarantor."

B. Does the neighborhoods map-menu represent the limit of region covered by your agents? I completed the form with specification 1BR $1500, Allston --because Allston is the neighborhood you accept for $1500 inquiries, with explanation that for budget I suppose I should live west of the region covered by your neighborhoods menu, namely Waltham to Arlington.

C. How bad is the month-to-month situation? Is credit and background check, need for references, same
 * online someone recommends the same rigorous checks

Offer to pay more in advance, eg "last two months"?

--how to do so?
