29 Peterborough Street Income-Restricted Rental: Rent, Income and Application Status
The current application deadline is September 1, 2026, at 11:45 p.m. The official listing does not separately identify a time zone, so applicants should confirm the cutoff with the authorized property agent and submit before the final day.
Quick answer: The available home is Unit #3 at 29 Peterborough Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02215. It has one bedroom and one bathroom. Applications are handled on a first-come basis rather than through a randomized lottery. Start from the current Boston Metrolist listing, confirm that the apartment remains available, and verify the income and contact details before sending sensitive financial documents.
Applicants who need help understanding the regional listing platform can review the Boston Metrolist complete income-restricted housing guide. This page focuses only on Unit #3 at 29 Peterborough Street and owns its availability, rent, income, deadline, application, and later leasing updates.

Apartment Details and Monthly Rent
The listing covers one income-restricted apartment.
Unit: Unit #3.
Bedroom size: One bedroom.
Bathrooms: One.
Monthly rent: $2,351.
Available apartments: One.
Income tier: 90% of Area Median Income.
Lease term: The linked property-agent page states a minimum lease term of 12 months.
The advertised rent is a fixed restricted rent. It is not automatically calculated as a percentage of each applicant’s household income.
A household using a rental subsidy may have a different tenant share, but the voucher administrator and property agent must confirm that the apartment satisfies applicable subsidy requirements.
Deposits and Amounts Due at Lease Signing
Boston Metrolist identifies the following amounts as due when the lease is signed:
First month’s rent.
Last month’s rent.
A security deposit.
The listing does not publish the dollar amount of the security deposit.
Before paying money or ending an existing lease, request a written move-in statement identifying:
The security deposit.
The total amount due at signing.
Any permitted application or move-in charges.
The payment method.
The date by which payment is required.
Do not rely on a market-rate listing for another apartment in the building when determining the costs attached to this income-restricted unit.
Utilities and Apartment Features
Boston Metrolist states that the following utilities are included:
Water and sewer.
Heat.
Hot water.
The separate property-agent page identifies hot water as included but does not display the same complete utility list.
Because the two official records do not provide identical details, ask the authorized agent to confirm every owner-paid and tenant-paid utility before signing the lease.
Boston Metrolist also identifies the following property or apartment features:
Refrigerator.
Stove.
Dishwasher.
Elevator.
Smoke-free property.
Laundry in the building.
Air conditioning.
Confirm these features during the viewing and review the written lease. A portal description does not replace the lease terms or the actual condition of the apartment.
Income Rules for the 90% AMI Apartment
The apartment is restricted at 90% of Area Median Income.
The 90% AMI label identifies the income category applied to the apartment. It does not mean the household pays 90% of its income toward rent.
The current official records publish the following figures:
Minimum annual income: $80,000.
Maximum annual income for one person: $108,000.
Maximum annual income for two people: $123,000.
Maximums for larger households: Not published on the property page reviewed for this update.
The broader meaning of the percentage is explained in how Area Median Income affects affordable housing eligibility. The figures published for 29 Peterborough Street control this application.
How the Minimum and Maximum Income Tests Differ
The minimum and maximum income figures answer different questions.
The $80,000 minimum tests whether the household appears able to pay the listed rent under the property’s affordability or rental-screening method.
The maximum tests whether the household remains within the income category assigned to the apartment.
A household may therefore be:
Below the program maximum but below the property’s minimum.
Above the minimum but over the program maximum.
Within both limits and still required to complete property screening and final certification.
The distinction is explained in minimum and maximum income rules for income-restricted housing.
The property-agent maximums should be verified before applying because the applicable limits can depend on the program schedule and certification date.
The separate guide to Boston housing income and rent limits provides regional context. Do not replace the project-specific figures with a general online AMI estimate.
Household Eligibility
The current listing is for a one-bedroom apartment.
The reviewed property page publishes maximum-income figures for one- and two-person households. It does not publish a complete occupancy chart or larger-household limits for this unit.
Applicants should accurately list every person who will occupy the apartment and confirm with the authorized agent:
The permitted household size.
Whether every household member must sign application documents.
Which income and assets must be reported.
Whether a rental subsidy changes the minimum-income review.
Which screening requirements apply.
Do not omit a person who will live in the apartment or include someone who does not genuinely intend to occupy it.
Accessibility and Preferences
Boston Metrolist identifies the building as wheelchair accessible.
The underlying project record states that this particular apartment is not designated as a unit built out for:
Mobility impairments.
Vision impairments.
People who are deaf or hard of hearing.
A wheelchair-accessible building is not necessarily the same as a fully mobility-adapted apartment.
No project-specific veteran, disability, Boston-resident, or other preference is published on the current unit record.
Applicants should not claim a preference that is not stated for this opportunity.
Anyone who needs a reasonable accommodation or wants to determine whether the apartment layout meets a disability-related need should contact the authorized agent. Do not send unrelated or unnecessary medical details with the initial inquiry.

What Happens After You Apply?
This opportunity does not use a randomized lottery drawing.
Boston Metrolist describes a process involving agent contact, property screening, and final income-restricted housing certification.
Agent Contact
The property representative reviews the inquiry and may confirm whether the apartment remains available.
Initial Income Review
The agent may request preliminary income information before arranging the next step.
Passing an initial check does not establish final program eligibility.

Property Screening
The property manager may apply permitted screening requirements, which can include:
Rental history.
Credit-related review.
References.
Income and affordability review.
Other lawful property criteria.
Final Compliance Certification
The household provides complete income, asset, tax, and household records.
The compliance reviewer determines whether the household satisfies the income-restricted housing requirements.
Final approval requires both applicable property screening and program certification.
For this apartment, the important questions are:
Whether Unit #3 remains available.
When the agent received the application.
Whether the household passes property screening.
Whether the compliance reviewer approves the household.

Applications closed.
Apartment leased.
Applicant screening in progress.
Compliance review in progress.
Opportunity reopened.
Another official first-come period announced.
Apartment no longer available.
A separate rent, income, deadline, or result article should not be created for the same apartment.
