LEASE AND UTILITIES:
Required 12-month lease (ending 8/31/27, with opportunity to renew), first and last month's rent and fully-refundable $2,250 security deposit. We prefer first, last and security be paid half at lease-signing, half at move-in, but also offer installment plans if needed. Rent does not include utilities: water/sewer/garbage bill (current tenants average $2/person/day) is shared equally with other tenants in the duplex, and electricity, Internet, etc. are separate by unit in tenants' own names.
