vicarzI don't have time to show the unit I'm going to rent out anytime soon so I'm not placing my ad on craigslist yet (or I'm not planning on it) but
Here are pics

(will add more later, such as outside)
Apt for rent, by me, avail now
2 bedrooms 1 full bath - $1,800 month, free parking (move-in fee payable to condo), dep 1 month rent
1307 N Ode St #402 (1/2 story above ground, ground floor)
Arlington, VA 22209 (about 2 blocks from Iwo Jima)
Apt between Ode and N. Ft. Meyer, closer to and everyone parks on N. Fort Meyer Drive
Google maps clicky Aka 2 blocks from Iwo Jima Marine Memorial
Good:
1. Walk to Metro, Rosslyn Station - 10 minute NY walk, 15 minute DC waddle (slightly further from Courthouse)
2. Plaster walls (bad side - no holes, nails, pins w/o specific permission)
3. Landlord nearby, 1 building over and 2 stories up, who wants you happy (and the apt safe).
4. Pretty recently re-finished hardwood floors
5. Exposed wood Pella Windows (multiple panes, tilt for cleaning, energy efficient)
6. Cheap utilities (only utility is Elec, ranging from $30 - 150 max) (cable & phone optional)
7. Security main door entrance
8. Renovated bathroom (but small)
9. High ceilings
10. large master bedroom with large closet (2nd br only 11x11 or so)
11. No one beneath you to complain about stamping, upstairs neighbor historically quiet
12. Pets ok, but who-boy do you gotta pay for any mess/damage if it happens!
13. Granite-appearing kitchen counters, new fake-wood kitchen floor too! Newish dishwasher, frig. both black
Bad & ugly:
1. Humid (ground floor issue) (note - dehumidifier provided). Due to humidity, mildew not tolerated - must maintain the apt! During winter cold snaps may need to occasionally wipe condensation from windows (easily maintained).
2. Not fancy - no gorgeous view, simple fixtures (but dimmer switches everywhere)
3. Need at least 1 year lease (due to insurance requirement)
4. You need to get renter's insurance as term of lease - mandatory
5. Mandatory change the air filter monthly (Landlord can provide and/or will change for you if you wish, but it must be done)
6. Kitchen is narrow
7. NO you can't ride out the last month rent on the deposit - kinda misses the point
Odd / other:
1. NO SMOKING not even "I'll just smoke outside"
2. No walk out / patio - security door entrance only
3. May be flexible on rent for performing renovations / work in exchange for rent - ONLY IF agreed by both landlord and tenant in writing before any such work performed
4. landlord doesn't care if you're a purple-sequined freak day-in day-out
5. Gay-friendly
