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

Available for rent is a 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. Plenty of natural light 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. Here, there are house rules of common sense items (such as cleaning up after yourself and not leaving dishes in the sink), so roommates understand what is expected of them. The idea of this place is to be more affordable, cozy, nice for the price, with roommates who can co-exist peacefully and respectfully with each other.

This rental has young adult professionals from Craigslist who did not know each other before 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:

$600: Unfurnished room on the 3rd floor about 10x10 in size with a closet. Bathroom is shared with two others, and is on the same level as this bathroom. Plenty of natural light comes in. Available for move-in on September 1. There is a master bedroom with a private bathroom, two closets, and 20x20 in size for $850 that will be available in 2-3 months' time, and if you'd like an upgrade, then that choice will be available to you when that tenant moves out. These rooms do not last long.

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.
