We are looking for great tenants and we are responsible, respectful landlords. Required: 700+ credit score, steady, verifiable household income of at least $180,000/year. Our property-specific application includes a background check, eviction check, and credit report/score (soft inquiry - does not impact score).
After a successful in-person tour and meeting with all prospective tenants and occupants (including any pets), we will move to in-depth application consideration & review. We must speak directly and candidly to all prior landlord(s) in the previous seven (7) years, and those individuals must have direct knowledge of you and your co-applicants as tenants. For those who lived with friends or family, or owned their own home for any portion of those seven years of history, please provide details on the situation in your application.
We live in the attached single-family next door (39 Pleasant), with a double brick wall/sound deadening between the two homes. From the outside, the building looks like a single family; however, it was built in 1970 as an attached 2 family home. The front door of the building is the entrance to the rental home. Our front door is located on the left side of the building, through the trellis gates. We are a married couple with a 14 yr old son and a friendly, well-trained, quiet 13 year-old rescue dog.
