About This Lister
I have lived in this building over 20+ years. I have taken great care of the apartment and every inch of it has been remodeled. I have invested over 100k updating it. I am looking for a responsible person, who will take care of it, keep it clean and really take care of the floors, no smoking or partying, and NO pets. Sorry...I love them, but it's really a process to try to clean pet hair after someone moves. I've done it before and it's really involved.
Lister's Relationship to the Space
I am the owner of this apartment.
Rental requirements
Please read carefully:
This is a LEGAL 1 YEAR lease
(PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR SHORT TERM. 1 year is the MINIMUM as per Co-Op rules)
Although I am the owner of this unit and will be your landlord, you must go through the application process with the building's management company. You will sign a standard lease with the building in ADDITION to a lease with me that speaks of more specifics related to the apartment itself.
The application will consist of the following:
- Application form
- Proof of income
- Personal reference letter
- Letter from current landlord stating payment history.
- Copies of last 2 years tax returns.
- 2 recent pay stubs.
- Bank statements.
- You will need to sign other documents that I will provide to you.
- 1 year lease
Fess (all NON-Refundable):
- $450 - application fee
- $100 - credit check
- $150 - move-in
- $150 - move-out
***$800 - total application fee***
- Regardless of whether you take the apartment furnished or not, you still have the move in and out fees. Not sure why, but that's just how it is.
- Courier charges - the application needs to get couriered to the mgmt company.
Note- these checks are paid to the management company directly and not me.
I understand that the application fee is high - it is significantly lower than what a broker fee of 10-15% (yearly lease) would be. I might be flexible on other things, but it would depend on the situation. Once I meet the right person, I would work with them as I've done with others in the past. This is a good opportunity, and I would like to offer it to this community.
The process takes about 2-3 weeks approve
Rent is $3,200/month + 1 month's deposit or total of $6,400 + $800 application fee = $7,200.00 to move in.
Utilities will be under your name.
Please reach out only if you can meet these requirements. I will be your liaison with the management company as I have gone through this before. A broker would have been the person to do this, but I will take it on, so you having all of the requirements will make the process smoother for everyone.
