Title: Handyman/Manager Special $500/mo Studio, Private Entrance & Parking (Single Occupant Only) Description: $500/month for a studio in University City that's roughly half what comparable units rent for in this neighborhood. Here's how it works: we're looking for one person with handyman or property management experience to help keep the building running smoothly, in exchange for significantly reduced rent. The Unit: - Basement studio, ~400 sq ft, 1 bathroom - Private entrance and dedicated parking space - Free WiFi, shared washer/dryer - Water included tenant pays PECO (electric) - Cats and small dogs (under 40 lbs) welcome - No smoking - Single occupant only The Arrangement: You pay $500/month + $500 security deposit, and you take on one of two roles. We want to be upfront this involves real, consistent work, roughly 4-8 hours a week. It's a great deal for someone with the right skills, but we want to make sure it's the right fit for both sides. HANDYMAN ROLE: - Drywall patching and repair - Landscaping mowing, trimming, seasonal upkeep - Electrical fixture replacements (switches, outlets, light fixtures) - Basic plumbing (unclogging drains, minor repairs) - General maintenance as needed MANAGER ROLE: - Cleaning common areas (hallways, porch, steps) on a bi-weekly schedule - Carpet shampooing hallways monthly - Coordinating with 5 tenants responding to requests within 24 hours, keeping a maintenance log - Scheduling and coordinating with hired contractors - Quarterly HVAC filter changes in tenant units - Periodic unit inspections for leaks, pest activity, and maintenance issues - Landscaping grass trimming, leaf removal, snow shoveling in winter - Pest monitoring in common areas - Garbage/recycling area upkeep Both roles also include a quick daily walk around the property front and back to pick up any litter or debris. It takes about 3-5 minutes. If you're traveling or need time off, no worries we have a handyman and a landscaper nearby, you'd just need to give them a heads up. Interested? Here's what we need in your first message: We get a lot of inquiries, so to keep things moving we ask that you include the following upfront: 1. Which role interests you handyman or manager? 2. A bit about your experience with those kinds of tasks (formal or informal we just want to know what you've done) 3. Two or three references (previous landlords, employers, or anyone who can speak to your reliability) Once we have that, we'll be in touch to talk next steps and schedule a showing.
