HOW DOES A COTTAGE RENTAL DIFFER FROM AN APARTMENT COMPLEX? Guesthouses are rare and offer significant distance from the neighbors; there are no common walls to telegraph noise . . . no parallel parking to increase the probability of "dings" to your car . . . no long corridors . . . no concrete floors. Security is increased due to the distance of the coach house from the street and the low population density (two people per acre) of the neighborhood. Management is different, too. The owners live on the property and handle advertising, showings, leasing and management. For the owner's personal safety and quiet enjoyment, most owners will want to meet an applicant and know more about the applicant than may be requested by apartment complex management. And finally, each owner is unique; most provide photographs of their property; but virtual tours may not be possible. * RATES: Rent is $1640; this rate includes a $75/month discount when the rent is received by management on the first day it is due and a $75 discount for occupancy by one person * UTILITIES: Utilities & internet are additional. The guest house has its own ELECTRIC meter with power averaging $130 per month (per the previous resident); there is a forced air, high-efficiency electric furnace. WATER is $60/month/person. SANITATION/TRASH PICK-UP is $20/month/unit. * LIMITATIONS: No smoking, vaping, drugs, propane * no oil diffusers, no loud vehicles * Prospective resident needs a verifiable rental history and employment 2.75 times the rent. Applicants with dependents, pending legal suits, high debt payments may need additional income.
