Simple & clear

How renting with us works

The same easy steps for everyone.

  1. Ask us anything. Message us on Zillow or Avail, email leasing@betterlivingrentalsllc.com, or call 508-841-5515. We reply within one business day and are happy to set up a quick phone call.
  2. Apply for free. Use the "Apply free" link for the unit (Avail) or apply on Zillow. Every adult who will live in the apartment applies.
  3. Tour the apartment. Once your application is in, we schedule an in-person showing.
  4. Screening. We review every application against the same written criteria. If something is missing, we tell you in writing what we need and by when.
  5. Decision. You hear from us by message or from our business email.
  6. Sign the lease. The lease names the company that owns the building, with Better Living Rentals LLC as manager.
  7. Move-in money, only after signing. First month, last month and a security deposit of one month's rent. Nothing else. You get a receipt every time.
No surprises

Screening criteria

Short version below. The full written criteria are available on request, and the same rules apply to every applicant.

Income

Household income of at least 3 times the monthly rent. Voucher holders: the test applies to your share of the rent only. All lawful income counts. A guarantor earning at least 4 times the rent can also qualify you.

Credit

A score of 600 or higher, or no payments 30+ days late in the last 12 months. Open collections owed to a landlord or utility need to be on a payment plan. Medical debt and student loans are not counted.

Rental history and background

We verify your current or most recent landlord. First-time renters are welcome. We look at eviction judgments in the last 3 years and certain convictions in the last 5 years, and you can share context before any decision.

Money

No application fee. No lock fee. At lease signing we collect only first month, last month and a security deposit of up to one month's rent.
