Laundry service available on premises and is priced by the load (cleaning products are included in the service). The suite is separated from the rest of the home by a locked door. No need to be in close contact with the homeowner unless both parties agree to get together. An indoor cat lives in main house, but is not allowed in suite. Sorry, no other pets allowed. THIS IS A SMOKE-FREE, ALCOHOL-FREE, STREET DRUG-FREE property. The property is an unofficial wildlife sanctuary with many birds, reptiles, and furry creatures residing and roaming freely. It is 'Horse Country', with lots of trees and country roads. Property is a short distance from several highways, public transportation and good shopping (less than 6 miles away).

Lease is month-to-month. Proof of financial suitability and health insurance is required. Amount due at signing is first and last month's rent. The security deposit to cover cleaning/damage/theft is equal to half the rent & due at the end of the second month, assuming all parties decide the situation is a good fit. Other House Rules, waivers, lease agreements apply and will be disclosed to suitable applicants. You won't find a better place to live for this price! Enjoy the virtual tour of the premises provided in the attached photos. Lease is month-to-month but a long term stay is preferable as long as the Homeowner & the Lodger are both happy with the arrangement. The Homeowner can increase rent quarterly per contract by no more than 3%. But has always limited any increases to once a year in the past unless the price of utilities has jumped significantly since those are included in the rental price. There are Waiver of Liability, House Rules*, & Inventory of Furnishings agreements that go along with the rental contract. These will be disclosed to viable renters. *Because this rural property's waste disposal is provided by a septic system, certain disposal behaviors are required.

The homeowner lives in a separate part of the house. Lodger has their own kitchenette & bathroom in the suite, so there is no need to interact, except to request laundry service or to notify her about needed repairs in the suite, or other issues.
