The Property

219 May Street is a detached single-family home on Worcester's West Side, in ZIP code 01602. Not a triple-decker unit, not a duplex — a true single-family with the space, parking, and flexibility that rarely come up for rent in this neighborhood.

Layout

• 3 bedrooms upstairs sharing 1 full bathroom
• Walkout lower-level suite with en-suite full bath — works as a 4th bedroom, family room, teen suite, in-law space, home gym, or remote-work setup
• Office nook and laundry hookups in the lower-level mechanical room
• Direct interior access from the suite to the garage

Renovations (completed about 3 years ago)

• Kitchen rebuild: new cabinets, quartz countertops, all-new stainless steel appliances
• New windows throughout
• Fully repainted interior
• New flooring on all wood surfaces; tile in wet areas

The home shows well, but final condition will be confirmed after the current tenant's walkthrough. Anything that needs touch-up will be addressed before move-in.

Outdoor & Parking

• Fully fenced, well-maintained backyard — great for kids and pets
• Deep one-car garage fits a full-size sedan plus workbench space
• Newly paved driveway parks 10+ vehicles — easily the most parking on any SFH rental in 01602

Location

West Side / Tatnuck-adjacent. Easy access to I-90, Route 9, Worcester State, MCPHS, and Tatnuck Square. The home sits at a signalized intersection, so road noise is present; proper city living — please factor this in honestly before applying.

What's Included

Landlord pays: water/sewer, property taxes, building insurance, major systems (HVAC, roof, structural).

Tenant pays: electricity, gas, snow removal (driveway, walkways, steps), lawn and landscaping, and renter's insurance with landlord listed as additional insured.

Application Requirements

To be considered, you must meet most of the following. These are firm — please don't apply if any one of them is a stretch.

1. Move-in funds: First month + security deposit (one month) at lease signing. Total: $6,850.
2. Income: Combined verified household income of at least 3x rent — $10,275/month gross ($123,300/year).
3. Employment: 2+ years of stable, verifiable employment minimum. 5+ years is exceptional and weighted favorably.
4. Pay stubs: Two most recent from each working applicant.
5. Credit score: 650 minimum. Higher scores strengthen the application; below 650 may not be considered.
6. References: Two references, neither related by blood. Prior landlord preferred, but not required.
7. Pets: Welcome case-by-case. $75/month pet fee per pet. All pets disclosed up front — undisclosed pets are a lease violation.
8. Background & eviction check: Run on every adult occupant.

How to Apply

One easy step:

With your TC Inquiry, send a concise introduction including:

• Your Full name and all adults who would live in the home
• Current employer(s) and how long
• Approximate combined monthly income
• Reason for moving and target move-in date
• Pets (how many, what kind)
• A brief note on what you are looking for

Messages that just say "is this still available?" or skip the introduction may go unanswered. The intro step is how we confirm you've actually read this — same standard we'll expect throughout the tenancy.

Looking forward to hearing from serious, qualified applicants.
