I have personal belongings that I need to store. Where can I put them?

If you rent a room that has a garage, you may choose to use that space to store your belongings instead of your car. You could then park in the adjacent driveway or on the street.

Can my friend and I rent the downstairs apartment?

Possibly. Priority will be given to families with children.

High Speed Internet, Water, Sewer, Electric, and Gas.

Electric Vehicles are subject to a monthly fee or if proof of usage is provided we will charge per kWh based off of the local electricity rate.

My move in is mid month, do I have to pay for the entire month?

No, we will prorate your move in and move out dates.

Is there a deposit?

Yes, there is a $500 deposit due at time of signing to reserve your housing. The deposit will be refundable after your stay and will be used for any cost incurred for replacing items taken from the house, repairs of damage done to the house or excessive cleaning. The deposit will be returned within 15 days after moving out.

Is there a cleaning fee?

Yes, there is a one time cleaning fee of $100 for single suite rentals and $200 cleaning fee for the apartment, $250 if apartment is rented with 3rd bedroom. This cost is due with 1st and last month rent. This fee takes care of deep cleaning the bedroom and bathroom and parts of the common area. This makes for easier move out; however, it is expected that the house is left in an orderly manner and excessive cleaning will be passed on to the tenants at $35/hr.

When do I make my first payment?

If you are reserving housing 2 months prior to your stay we ask for the first and last month’s prorated amounts to be paid on or before the 1st day of your move in month. If you are reserving your housing within 2 months of your stay, we ask for the 1st and last month’s rent to be paid at time of signing lease along with your deposit.

How can I pay?

Deposit and/or rent can be made by check, cash or Zelle. Venmo will be accepted if tenant pays the 1.9% fee associated by using Venmo as “goods and services”. Landlord will make a visit to the Valley View house around the 1st of the month to collect rent from tenants who choose to pay with check or cash.
