Please respond with a little information about yourself and when you are looking to move in and any questions you have. I will email you an application to bring with you to view the unit. Let me know what days/times you are interested in a showing and your cell phone number so I can text to set it up. 
This post will be deleted once we find a tenant, so if you are reading this, it is still available. We do our best to respond to all serious inquiries within a reasonable time frame, and the more you tell us about yourself and your ideal rental the more likely we are to respond, based on our experience of getting flooded with responses to the ad when we posted it in the past. Best of luck in your housing search! :)
Month to month lease, at least at first, to make sure we have a good fit. Credit and background check to be paid for and provided by potential tenants through a legit service at no profit to us. Personal and previous landlord references preferred. No tobacco smoking allowed. We are looking for a mature-minded long-term tenant who will take excellent care of our property, respect our privacy and who believes in recycling and composting.
Must be okay with small dogs, kept separate from your space even when they bark briefly. :) They are not allowed to bark for very long.
