Some FAQs:

Sorry, no pets.

Street parking is plentiful and free (so long as you register your car in DC)

Terms are typically 12 months, then month to month with 60 days notice to vacate.? But I can be flexible depending on the circumstances.? You can break your lease at any time if you find a suitable replacement.

There is an application (no fee), and then if you pass muster (basically, if you can prove you can afford the place), all it takes is a basic lease, the first month's rent, and 1 month security deposit to move in (please don't ask to pay the deposit later.? If you can't come up with two month's rent on your first day, you probably should consider more affordable housing.)

Yes, I am happy to consider 'sight-unseen' renters who need a place before they get here—so long as you realize the risk you take in renting a place before you see it.? Along those lines, if you're just starting out and have mom and dad helping out with rent or need them to help 'qualify' financially, that's okay too.

This place is not managed by some big company. This is a privately owned house, and the owner lives in the area and manages it himself (along with a few other places he has in the neighborhood) with the help of a handyman that takes care of the maintenance or any issues.? So know that there is flexibility on pretty much all matters. ?A little communication and good will go a long way towards having a great landlord/tenant relationship.
