Letter

- Send it with the application packet only after the in-person tour clears the unit.
Rental search
Top rental target
Why it is the top target
- The area, amount of space, and natural light all fit the brief.
- Spanish-style character with black/white accents and a modern-but-not-too-square feel.
- The layout reads more like a home than a boxy apartment.
Due diligence
- Confirm the photos are the exact unit, not a similar unit.
- Verify parking setup, cost, and whether tandem or street parking is required.
- Ask whether the lease start can flex later than the initial availability date.
- Confirm central A/C or the real cooling setup.
- Check noise from the street, neighbors, and shared walls.
- Visit at a bright hour and verify natural light in the exact unit.
- Ask for all utilities, trash, water, pet, parking, and application fees.
