Cozy efficiency apartment just outside downtown Sonora in the quiet Elk Hills neighborhood. This 1br/1bath unit with kitchenette is in the downstairs of an owner occupied house and is ideal for one person or a couple. You will have this separate downstairs unit to yourself including a private entrance, bedroom, bathroom and living room area with kitchenette (does not have a full oven).
Street parking only, but there's plenty and it's never been a problem. There is shared onsite laundry downstairs outside of your unit which is apart from your area and won't affect your privacy.
Litter box trained indoor cat welcome and one dog may be considered on a case by case basis with owner approval and yard sharing agreement.
All utilities are a flat fee of $250/ month including trash, water, sewer, propane, electric and internet.
About the property:
The parcel is 0.4 acres and private. There is one large dog onsite, so the yard is not appropriate for children. The owner does not mind if you smoke outdoors only, if you are conscious about fire risk and keep the yard clean. No smoking indoors. Outdoor 420 friendly, but no drugs or loud parties. LGBTQIA+ and diversity friendly environment.
Next steps:
Please reach out and tell me a little bit about yourself, any potential pet you wish to be considered and what you are looking for. Preference will be given to applicants who are willing introduce themselves. If the post is up, it's available.
You can apply through Zillow or contact me directly (direct contact preferred). I will provide an application form to interested applicants and will require two months income verification and two months bank statements. You will also need to provide your credit report with credit score. The apartment is available Dec 11 or possible sooner. The tenant will be required to obtain their own renters insurance with a liability policy if dogs are present.
Pet policy:
One indoor cat or one small to medium size dog can be considered on a case by case basis with an extra $300 pet deposit. Sorry, but some dog breed restrictions apply due to insurance policy and multiple dogs will not be considered.
The owner has a people-friendly golden retriever who is timid with other dogs and does not like large or overly-excited, dominant dogs. We will need to work out a yard-sharing agreement if tenant's dog is approved.
Smoking outdoors only. Flat utility fee of $250/mo due at the beginning of each month. Ample street parking only.
The ideal tenants will make 2.5x the rent. Lease will begin as month to month with the option of a longer term lease if it is a good fit for both of us.
