IDEAL PERSON
We are looking for someone who is friendly and fun, but also respectful of other people, and responsible.
We like to keep the living areas and kitchen clean. So you must be clean in the common areas (clean kitchen/wash dishes immediately after using it).
Any dishes left dirty in the sink may get thrown away on cleaning day. Also rent may be increased for anyone consistently leaving a mess in the kitchen, or they will be asked to move out.
Alcohol is no problem and cigarette smoking is fine outside under the terrace.
No practicing music in house or playing loud music.
No parties at the house.
ABOUT US
We are single working professionals in 30’s age range. We are all respectful of each other’s space and possessions. We are all on a different schedule, so you almost never have to wait to use a bathroom or the kitchen.
The house is usually quiet. Sometimes a few house members will be hanging out in the terrace on the evening or weekends.
RENT:
Rent month to month. I only need a 30 day notice if you need to move.
Rent includes power, water, high speed fiber internet, toilet paper, disposable kitchen items (soap, trash bags, etc), all house repairs/maintenance/yard service, and basic weekly cleaning in house common areas (kitchen counters, floor areas, bathrooms).
If you stay shorter than 2 months, I charge a $200 fee from the deposit, as its fairly time consuming to start the process over of finding and moving in a new house member.
Rent is due on the 1st of each month. After the 5th there is a weekly late fee of $30
Deposit is equal to one month’s rent for good credit. Deposit is fully refundable. Deposit = 1.5 x rent for bad credit
Total price to move in = 1 months’ rent + deposit. Paying last month’s rent up front isn’t required.
PETS:
I currently have a 6 year old female golden retriever in the house. Very sweet and friendly
Also there is a mini poodle who is also very friendly. Both dogs are house trained.
Because we already have 2 dogs in the house, we don’t want to have any additional pets.
Other small caged pets that don’t make noise is fine and have no fee (rabbit, hamster, turtle, etc).
There are a lot of scams in Miami. So I don’t ask for rent or deposit up front. You only pay rent and deposit at the time of move in, not before.
I do not ask for an application fee. Other listings that want application fees are usually scams designed to just collect a lot of application fees and never rent a room.
I can provide facebook reviews and prior tenant references/contacts upon request
If I don’t answer the phone, just leave me a message or send a text, and we can schedule a phone call for later.
I often screen my calls since I get so many spam calls throughout the day.
Thanks for looking
