If interested, please email me at: drc43 at pitt dot edu, with a brief intro including:
Where you'll be working/studying.
Info about your income/funding and monthly budget.
Desired move-in/move-out dates + any questions. This is a rare month-to-month lease that offers flexibility.
Showings available on weekend afternoons and evenings.
To sign I'll need to see photo ID and proof of income and I always do a full background check, the fee is $45, but if we ultimately sign a lease, I will put it towards your second month of rent. If you have very little rental history you may need a cosigner.
