Effective November 1, 2024, the month-to-month room rate is $25 per day, with the entire month's rent due on the first day of each month for that month's rent. Partial months, based upon your move-in and move-out dates, are prorated at the same daily rate.

Terms:

Rent is month-to-month with at least 2 weeks advance notice prior to vacating greatly appreciated.

Dorm Room Rental Option:

Since the Dorm Room has 2 twin sized [bunk] beds, 2 people could occupy this room. You, as primary person, could split the monthly rent with a secondary person [paying $275 each]. In this rental option, the primary person is solely responsible for locating, and retaining, a compatible secondary person to share the Dorm Room.

The room rental agreement is written naming only one primary person, who is responsible for the full security deposit [$450] and the full monthly rent payment [$750]. In the event the secondary person vacates the room, then the primary person is still responsible for making the full monthly rent payment [$750]. Should the primary person vacate the room and the secondary person decide to stay, then a new rental agreement would be written with the secondary person now becoming the primary person responsible for the full security deposit [$450] and the full monthly rent payment [$750].

Scenarios.
You want to live in an affordable room in a beautiful home and you have a budget? Then here are some scenarios. Which one is best for you?

Scenario 1: You pay $450 security deposit + $750 per month. Dorm Room is not shared. You are the Primary renter of the Dorm Room. You have the Dorm Room all to yourself.

Scenario 2: You pay $450 security deposit + $650 per month. Dorm Room is not shared. You are the Primary renter of the Dorm Room. Your effective rate for renting the Dorm Room could be $750 - $100 referral fee = $650 per month including all utilities and wireless internet access. The incentive plan compensates anyone [this would be someone you know] who refers to Mark an individual [which could be you] who rents a room at "251". The compensation, or referral, fee paid monthly by check to the referrer is $100 per month or $25 per week for partial months for the entire duration of the tenant's [your] stay.

Scenario 3: You pay $450 security deposit + $375 per month. Dorm Room is shared. You are the Primary renter of the Dorm Room. If you locate someone to share the room with you, then your effective rate for renting the Dorm Room could be half of $750, or $375, per month including all utilities and wireless internet access. You would still be obligated to pay the $450 security deposit which is refunded to you when you vacate, provided no damages are assessed.

Scenario 4: You pay $450 security deposit + $175 per month. Dorm Room is shared. You are the Primary renter of the Dorm Room. You locate someone to share the room with you and either a) someone refers you to Mark, in which case they collect the monthly $100 referral fee or b) you refer to Mark someone who signs a month-to-month lease agreement to rent a room, in which case you collect the monthly $100 referral fee. Your effective rate for renting the Dorm Room could be $750 - $100 referral fee = $650 - $375 (your roommate's share) = $375 per month including all utilities and wireless internet access.

Scenario 5: You pay $375 per month. Dorm Room is shared. You are the Secondary renter of the Dorm Room. If you locate someone who agrees to be the Primary renter of the Dorm Room, then they are responsible for the entire $450 security deposit. Your share of the room rent would be $375 less the $100 per month referral fee paid to you for the duration of the Primary renter's stay.

Scenario 6: You earn $100 per month. You could earn $100 per month, for the entire duration of their stay, by referring to Mark someone who rents an available room on a month-to-month basis. You'd also be given priority when any room becomes available at 251. Maybe whoever is occupying the Dorm Room could let you stay there with them without you having to pay anything to them for the privilege of staying in the Dorm Room with them. :)
