We are looking for longterm tenants that are "here to stay" and are interested in building a trusting relationship. We would like for you to take care of our home like if it was your own. We are a couple living in Santa Cruz and renting out Grandpa's house while he is living in a senior living facility.
We will start of with a year lease with the option to continue month-by-month after.
Tenant will be responsible for all utilities. Yard maintenance can be negotiated (you do it or pay for a landscaper to come by monthly). We will pay for tree pruning and larger projects.
No smoking, no pets.
2 parking spots available: one inside the garage, one in the driveway and there is ample parking on the street as well.
