I would like a stable longer tenancy, although the exact start date and lease length still need to be agreed. The property is a five-bedroom country home in Boston, listed at $5,201 per month and stated as approximately 810 sq ft.

I can discuss furnishing, which charges may be covered, the deposit, transport, running costs and how maintenance requests would be handled before a viewing. Because the layout is compact for five bedrooms, applicants are also welcome to ask about room sizes and condition. Please send your intended move date and the term you have in mind.
 
At that rent, it would help to give applicants a clearer starting point before they arrange a viewing: whether the home is furnished, which charges might be included, and the range of lease lengths you would consider. Is there a particular month when you expect it to become available?
 
Can you confirm that 810 sq ft covers the entire five-bedroom home? That is a very compact layout, so bedroom dimensions or a floor plan would matter. Some rooms may work better as studies than conventional bedrooms, depending on their size.
 
I agree the area needs confirming. I’d also want to know whether utilities are billed directly to the tenant or passed through by the landlord, and what heating arrangement serves the property. Those details could materially affect the monthly cost even if some charges are included.
 
The square footage alone should not decide it; five smaller rooms could suit someone needing offices or flexible space. Still, at $5,201 a month, applicants need enough detail to judge that trade-off. Photos of each room, storage information, furnishing status and the nearest practical transport options would make the listing much easier to assess.
 
Two other points: are pets considered, and how are maintenance requests handled during the lease? For a long-term tenant, response arrangements for heating, plumbing or appliance problems can be as important as the deposit amount.
 
Adding to that, it may be simplest to post a short list covering deposit, minimum lease length, available move-in window, pet terms, utilities and furnishing. Applicants could then reply with their proposed date and household requirements, which should reduce unsuitable enquiries for both sides.
