1 Master BR avail in large TH w/ young adult pros! Rent controlled! - rooms & shares - apartment room roommate share... (2024)

Up for rent is large Townhouse with newish paint in the bedrooms on the border of Fairfax/Chantilly/Reston. The common areas are all furnished, but the bedrooms are not. There is a lot of natural light that comes in through the common living areas. Anyone who takes a look at the place usually gives compliments on how nice the place is. For room shares, it's usually a free-for-all all. Here, there are house rules of common sense items (such as cleaning up after yourself and do not leave dishes in the sink) so roommates have an understanding of what is expected of them.

This rental is made up of young adult professionals from Craigslist who did not know each other prior to moving in, so you would not be an outsider. Additionally, roommates are vetted and pass criminal (no serious or violent crimes) and credit background checks. Each roommate is sent house rules to ensure everyone is on board and knows what is expected of them.

Additionally, *RENT CONTROLLED*! Rent will not increase for any annual renewals of the lease agreement (a huge plus for those who gripe about rentals that increase rent substantially each year, as rents have been soaring recently).

One room will be available:

$750: Unfurnished large master room on the ground level about 20x16 in size with a walk-in closet and private bathroom. Usually in room shares on Craigslist, only the worst room is available in the house, but this is a rare one in which a large room with a private bathroom is available. Does not share walls with any other bedrooms directly and features privacy. Plenty of natural light comes in through two large windows facing the front. Available for move-in May 20.

Some facts about the place:

- Plenty of free street parking, there are never problems with finding an open parking spot nearby.
- Friendly roommates (3) in their 20s/early 30s, 2 males and 1 female, all working professionals. Everyone gets along, communicates, and respects each other. When fully occupied, the space will occupy 5 tenants.

- Townhouse is on the more peaceful side, everyone has busy schedules and no parties are thrown at the house.
- A cleaning system to make sure everyone does their part in keeping the house clean. A fair system ensures the place isn't dirty and that everyone follows. (unlike a lot of shares).
- Centrally located: Grocery stores (Wegmans, Lotte Marte), numerous restaurants, and Rt. 66 are within a 10 min drive. New Golds gym is within walking distance. George Mason University, Reston Town Center, Korean restaurants/cafes, Vienna Metro Station, Dulles Aiport is about a 10-20 minute drive.

Leasing terms are for a full year. A security deposit is also required, it is the same as the first month's rent. Utilities are not included and are split amongst the tenants, which are generally around $300-500 total (before being split amongst the tenants, it is generally $80-$100 a person if all rooms are rented). You would only be responsible for your own room rental, if the place is not fully occupied, your rent for your room will not go up! Other shares usually have the remaining tenants cover the entire house which can get expensive.
