Hi, I'm Dave. I've owned this house since 2009 and I fixed it up one room at a time. I live 10 minutes away, I do most of the repairs myself, and if you text me about a dripping tap you will hear back the same day.

Questions people ask
When does the lease start and end?
The lease runs August 1, 2027 to July 31, 2028, twelve months. Move-in is August 1 for everyone, and there are no partial leases.
Do I need a guarantor?
Yes, if you do not have your own income. It is usually a parent, and they can live anywhere in the US. Dave emails them a short form to sign on their phone. If you earn enough on your own, tell Dave and he will go over it with you.
Can I sublet in the summer?
The lease is twelve months, so summer rent is part of it. If you will be away for June and July you can sublet your bedroom, but Dave has to meet and approve the person first, and you stay responsible for the rent.
Where do I park?
There are 4 off-street spaces behind the house, two for each flat. A third car can use the street with a city permit. There is a bike rack by the back steps.
Are pets allowed?
No pets. Assistance animals are not pets, and Dave will go through the usual paperwork with anyone who has one.
Are there quiet hours?
Quiet hours are 10 pm to 8 am Sunday to Thursday, and midnight to 8 am on Friday and Saturday. The neighbors on both sides have been there a long time, and they are good to us.
What happens if a roommate leaves?
If you rent one bedroom, you sign your own lease for it, so a roommate leaving does not change what you owe. Dave finds someone new for that room. If a group rents the whole flat, the group signs one lease together, finds a replacement, and Dave approves them. Until then the rest of the group covers the rent.
Come see the house
