need apartment for month of September

[jd-science.livejournal.com]

Hi folks-

I've had a plumbing emergency and need to find a one-month (September) rental for my 3 tenants (all women in their 20s) ASAP. Does anyone have leads on an apartment in the Somerville/Cambridge area that might be a good fit? 2 bedrooms is fine, a large 1-bedroom might be OK.

Please let me know if you have any ideas! I'm desperate and feeling a little crazy. Thanks!

You're looking for one single place to accommodate all three, or can they be split up?

Are you seeking something furnished? Since moving them out-and-in-and-out in one month seems suboptimal...

Do you have a driveway that you could stick a trailer in? There are companies that rent those temporary office/living space buildings for situations like this. It's probably cheaper than one of those corporate hotel places, which strike me as your best option otherwise. I suspect it will be hard to find a landlord who wants to do that at the beginning of rental year...

A quick google search for "temporary housing trailer" turned up these folks about 30 miles away: www.popehousing.com
There might be other options locally.

Also, check your mail here, since you have no other contact info listed.

Air BnB, the Bower Street B&B? Also lots of furnished apartments available from B&Bfinder.

Thanks for all the tips - I tried airbnb and a few other options, but nothing panned out. We're just going to go with a short-term fix and do the more complete fix later, when the tenants have somewhere to go.

Thanks, all.

I have a feeling it will be cheaper and easier for you just to expedite your plumbing repairs.
