Positives:
-1 bed/1 bath 800sq feet Basement Suite in the Burnside/Gorge area.

-Bright, freshly painted space.
-Includes an office area.
-Private locked gate entrance.
-Full-sized no-charge in-suite laundry.
-LGBTQIA+ friendly.
Cons:
*There is one low beam that runs across the kitchen at 5' 6". Last tenants stayed 9 years and one was 5'9" tall so this is workable.*
-No smoking/vaping/e-cigarettes on property.
-No cats or dogs allowed, as the landlord has animals on the property (dogs/chickens). Small contained pets allowed: caged birds, fish, etc., on landlord approval.
-Landlord lives upstairs.
-Street parking only.
Process:
-References (proof of income, rental history) are required prior to renting
Rent and Utilities:
-$1550/ month.
-Utilities (hydro power, natural gas and hot water) are paid separately from rent. They will be billed by landlord once a month for the prior month’s usage (so amount due will vary to reflect the tenant’s usage). Utilities are on average 85$/month.
-Landlord pays water, sewer and garbage pickup.
-Tenant is responsible for their own telephone/internet.
