12 Month Lease, $3,800 deposit, Available Oct 1
Peaceful 1926 Craftsman Cottage, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, detached garage. This is a standalone single-family property. It has been lovingly restored and completely updated and is set on a leafy, quiet street in Pasadena. The house has generous outdoor living space that is very private, and perfect for entertaining. There are Pergo floors throughout, energy efficient LED lighting, and a spacious kitchen. Weekly gardener service and ongoing maintenance is included in rent. One dog or cat welcome under 20 lbs.
The home has central AC and Heat, as well as a gas fireplace. The gas range and refrigerator are newer. The washer / dryer is less than a year old. We are currently installing a full backyard privacy fence. Landscaping is also being completed.
Online applications will be accepted starting September 16, 2026. Prospective renters should complete the application thoroughly. This house has very good energy, and it rents quickly. The first applicant meeting the eligibility criteria will be chosen.
We have a short video walkthrough available by request. I can meet for showings during limited hours, as I live across town from this property.
Renter Criteria
Monthly Rent: $3,800
To ensure a fair and consistent application process, all applicants will be evaluated using the same rental qualification criteria.
Income: Combined gross household income should generally equal at least 3 times the monthly rent, or approximately $11,400 per month. Lawful and verifiable income from all permitted sources will be considered in accordance with California law.
Credit: Applicants should demonstrate a satisfactory credit and payment history, with no recent pattern of delinquent rent, unpaid housing obligations, or significant unresolved financial delinquencies. Credit score alone will not necessarily determine approval.
Rental History: Applicants should have satisfactory prior rental history, including timely rent payment, reasonable care of the property, and no significant history of lease violations or unpaid rental obligations.
Income Verification: Applicants may be asked to provide recent pay stubs, tax returns, benefit statements, employment or offer letters, bank statements, or other appropriate documentation verifying lawful income.
Identification: Each adult applicant must provide valid government-issued identification and complete all required application information.
Occupancy: All adults who will reside at the property must apply and be approved. All intended occupants, including minor children, must be disclosed before move-in.
Renter's Insurance: Proof of active renter's insurance will be required before possession of the property is delivered.
Move-In Funds: Before keys are released, approved renters must provide the required first month's rent and security deposit in cleared funds.
Pets: Pets are subject to property owner approval and the terms of the rental agreement. Assistance animals will be handled separately in accordance with applicable fair-housing law.
Property Care: Applicants must agree to comply with the rental agreement, including provisions regarding care of the historic plaster walls, original millwork, appliances, garden access, and other property-specific requirements.
Application Review: Complete applications will be reviewed consistently according to these written criteria and applicable California and Pasadena law.
Meeting these criteria does not guarantee approval if the application is incomplete, information cannot be verified, or another applicant has priority under the applicable screening process.
12 months, either one dog or one cat, under 20 lbs.
