I am an artist / academic who will be on sabbatical for the year. My apartment is decorated with artwork by myself, friends, and even some work by former students. I am the current owner and have permission to sublet as long as an application is filed with the Co-op Board (who are very chill). My pronouns are she/her. I have lived in Ditmas Park for nearly 20 years and love it! I think you will too!
INCLUDES:
$2750 / month rent includes utilities (electric, AC, hot water, gas), high-speed wifi.
REQUIREMENTS:
- first month + one month security deposit
- 3 References required plus Co-op board application and approval. Application fees to the board and management company= $400. I will reimburse 1/2 those fees ($200) if you are approved and sign a one-year lease.
- I prefer a single occupant (but it's roomy enough for a couple)
- No pets, no smoking.
I can be available to show the apartment or do a video walk-through.
I can be a little flexible on the move-in date. One week earlier or later than Sept 1 on pro-rated basis.
