Recently renovated West End apartment in Portland ME, on the 2rd floor of a 3 story building. Come check out this nice apartment close to downtown Portland, Maine Medical Center, USM and the Western Promenade. Looking to rent the unit on or after January 01, 2023.
This gorgeous 2 bedroom & 1 bath 2nd floor unit, features tall ceilings, tall windows, updated bathroom, kitchen is newer, nice appliances with a natural gas stove for excellent cooking and recently refinished hardwood floors and vinyl plank floors in kitchen and bath. The smaller bedroom sizes creates a really cozy atmosphere. This unit is really bright and sunny, has great views of the street and benefits from hot air rising and stays warmer. The front bedroom is drenched in sunlight, gotta wear shades indoors.
We are looking for nice long term tenants (1.5+ year lease) to join our apartment community. If you are able to get along with the 5 other units, please set up a showing, see the apartment, meet your neighbors and say "HI!"
All prospective tenants will go through a criminal background check, credit check and tenant history check through Tenant-net. There will be an application fee of $50.00 per applicant, to pay for all of your background checks. This is for your safety and the safety of others in the building. We screen heavily so you don't have to wonder about your neighbors. Screening includes Credit Score, Criminal Background Check, Credit Check, and Search through all Court Databases in the USA to see if you have been evicted before.
If you have letters of recommendation from previous landlords, that would be encouraged. I will be calling all previous and current landlords to check your references. I am serious about finding good tenants and good neighbors for the other units and the neighborhood.
There is only street parking, such is life in-town Portland, residential street parking permits are available at City Hall, pay a fee and show them your lease. I find that there is usually plenty of parking on the next block on Pine St, Thomas St, Carol St and Neal St.
There are no washer/dryer facilities, please go to the Soap Bubble down the street.
This is a non-smoking unit. No cigarettes or anything else you may want to smoke that may be currently legal.
