Renter’s Insurance
To protect your personal property, we strongly recommend renter’s insurance. For an additional fee, you can request replacement cost insurance for the best protection in the event of a loss. The following insurance agencies are familiar with your building and can sell you a renter’s insurance policy:
Howard Savitt
Brown & Brown of Massachusetts
781-455-6664
Maurice J. Rubino
Hub International
781-641-3002
You may also be able to obtain a good policy from the agent who sold you your auto insurance. If you have a roommate, you can try to cover your combined property on one policy if possible and split the cost.
Moving in/Moving out
Unless otherwise notified, you may move in to your apartment on the first day of your lease at 12:00 PM. All tenants who are moving are required to leave the apartment clean and empty of all their personal belongings. Time permitting, we provide additional cleaning before you move in. If you find that the apartment is not clean enough when you move in, please notify Sawyer Management Company at 617-254-3100. We hope that by starting with a clean, well-maintained apartment, you will keep the apartment in good, clean condition throughout your tenancy. The lease shall terminate at 5:00 P.M. on the last day of the term. You must thoroughly clean the apartment and remove all personal belongings by this date and time, unless prior arrangement is made with Lessor in writing. Please contact Sawyer Management Company to coordinate the return of all keys within 24 hours of move-out. Please notify management of your forwarding address and telephone number to permit timely return of deposits.
