Feeling claustrophobic, lonely, or overcrowded? Many renters coming to Cabot & Company are feeling at least one of these in their current living situation. COVID has made our world feel small and our home even smaller. All of sudden our homes are our workplace, our gyms, and if you are a parent, our daycare and children’s school.
