What does FRBO Mean?

“FRBO,” or For Rent by Owner, means that the owner of your rental acts as your property manager. Instead of going through a property management company or leasing agent, you work directly with the owner for the entirety of your lease, from application to move-out.

Benefits of Renting from a Private Owner

Renting from a private owner in Cambridge can be a different experience for renters who are used to property management companies. While renting through a large company often comes with standardized processes, renting with a private owner may be a bit more flexible. You may be able to negotiate details in the lease, such as move-in dates and monthly rent. Renting with a private owner will also streamline your communication. Instead of going through online portals to contact maintenance, pay bills, or ask questions, your rental owner will be your one point of contact. Start the search today and find your next privately owned rental.
