….(Not a duplex, 2605A is the front house.)

RENTER’S INSURANCE is $11-16/mo., I'll help you get it set up.

LEASE TERM 3-12 months, your choice

FURNISHED OR UNFURNISHED, your choice, same rent either way.

PETS WELCOME. No pet deposit, no pet fee, no pet rent. Cats must be indoors-only. Dogs must be supervised when in the yard and their waste picked up immediately. All pets must be only in your room, not in common areas.

BAD / NO CREDIT okay, but in that case I'll ask you to prepay some rent.

WASHER in the house (clothesline in the back yard, dehumidifier + drying rack for rainy days)

NOTE, there is no common living room per se. The common areas are the kitchen, downstairs bathroom, and the yards.

---------------------------
WHAT'S BETTER ABOUT THIS RENTAL
---------------------------

• TREES. The house is surrounded by large trees, and the middle yard is semi-secluded.

• RENT UNLIKELY TO GO UP WHEN LEASE RENEWS. I generally don't raise rent when tenants stay after their original lease terms end. I've done it only once since 2014, and only twice since 2005. In two cases, I lowered rent.

•⚡️SUPER-RESPONSIVE MAINTENANCE⚡️. I live on the same block and take care of most maintenance requests the same day or next day.

---------------------------
HOUSEMATES
---------------------------
• DOWNSTAIRS, ROOM 1: could be you!

• DOWNSTAIRS, ROOM 2: Renée, 30s, works from home, 1 cat (stays in her room)

• UPSTAIRS: Eric, 30s, audio engineer, no pets

Current tenants are quiet, clean, and respectful, and expect the same from their new housemate.

---------------------------
NO JUNK FEES:
---------------------------
* No pet fee
* No pet deposit
* No pet rent
* No administrative fee
* No valet trash fee (but no valet trash service, either)
* No application fee (screening fee is only $41, paid to screening service, not to me, and you don't pay it until I've offered to rent to you contingent on our passing the background check)
