When performing an Apartment Turnover, if the unit where carpet is being replaced is supposed to be accessible to people with disabilities, be sure to use the ADA Compliant Carpet listed on our CRES Replacement Specification List for interior replacements. This carpet is much easier for people with disabilities to navigate.
If you have any questions, please contact Scott Busch for more information.

Cambridge Real Estate Services is pleased to welcome Kimberly Taylor to the Site Employee Resource Center. Kimberly will provide assistance as a Special Projects Manager. Continue reading “Welcome Kimberly Taylor to Cambridge!”
After an eviction notice has been served to an occupant by an attorney or their ‘process server’, please do not accept any payment of any kind without consulting with your supervisor and/or the attorney handling the eviction. When payment is accepted, a court of law may claim that the parties have resolved their interest and the eviction action could be terminated by the court.
By comparison, for a household which is subject to a notice of termination issued by Cambridge (rather than by an attorney), do not accept rent beyond the pro-rate due for the remaining term of the tenancy. For example:
• Non-Compliant Resident, unit 100 – rent $500 per month
• Served 60/14 on April 15 that expires June 17
• They do not cure the lease violation
• May rent: $500
• June prorated rent: $283
Do not accept more than $283 for June rent or the eviction process stops.
If you have any questions please ask your Supervisor!
