Priety R - $1,167/month

Seeking a roommate for a 3bd/2bt house in East Arlington

Hi, I am a 40yr gender apathetic individual. I use she/they pronouns. I already have one approved roommate, she is a 37yr trans woman & will be joining me in June. I am looking for a 2nd roommate to join us.

Rent is $1166.67/month & 1/3 of utilities. The realtor requires a minimum credit score of 700.

The standard lease is 9/31/25-8/31/26, however the room is available now. I’m currently the only person living here because my ex-partner recently moved out. (I’ve been living here since 2017.) So the starts date for the lease can be anytime between now & September.

The unit is the 2nd (~900sq fr) & 3rd floor (~600sq ft) of a multi-family home. The downstairs neighbors are a friendly lesbian couple who are up for game nights & cocktails.

Bedroom for rent is 11’3”x9’9”. It can easily fit a queen sized bed.
The main floor contains bedrooms 1&2, 1 bathroom, large kitchen, living room, dining room, entrance room & 2 enclosed porches (1 off the kitchen & 1 off the entrance room). The third floor has bedroom 3 (my bedroom), 1 bathroom, small kitchenette & 1 large bonus room (It has my couch & TV). Washer & dryer are in the basement. The kitchen has a dishwasher & garbage disposal. The landlord had a mini split HVAC system installed a few months back. There are 4 units on the main floor, 2 on the upper floor, & wall mounted remotes for each unit.

I will be in the 3rd floor bedroom with Oscar my 16yr cat. There is a door that i will keep closed between the 2nd & 3rd floors to keep Oscar contained upstairs. Roommates are welcome upstairs anytime, the closed door is only to provide roommates with either a cat free zone or an area for a second cat.

There is a deep driveway, parking is on the left side & fits 3 cars easily. 1 spot per roommate. In general, most of Arlington has free 2 hour parking. There are a few metered spots, but they are over in the Arlington Center area.

There are lots of restaurants & local shops nearby, the Capital Theatre is just a couple blocks away. There is easy access to the Minutemen trail & it is a short 10-15 minute walk to the Alewife station on the red line of the MBTA.

Water is included in the lease.
Gas & electric are not included in rent.
Trash, recycling & food waste pickup are on Mondays.

What is furnished:
* 3rd floor is fully furnished
* Dining room has a large table with 6 chairs
* Curtains throughout the house, mostly blackout curtains
* Washer & dryer in basement
* Chest freezer in basement
* Kitchen has a dishwasher & garbage disposal
What is not furnished:
* Living room
* Kitchen
* Available bedroom

Accessibility (or sadly the lack thereof 😰):
* Flight of stairs up the porch with handrails on both sides.
* 1 flight of stairs to 2nd floor, 1 flight of stairs from 2nd to 3rd floor & a double flight of stairs from 1st floor to basement. All are narrow & have a 90 degree turn partway. Handrails are only on 1 side.
* Bathrooms do not have grab bars or other accessibility items. They are also too small to maneuver a wheelchair.
* There are wide openings between the entrance/dining/living rooms. But standard doorways everywhere else.
* Light switches are at standard height.

Individually, rent is $1166.67/month. Rent for the ENTIRE UNIT is $3500/month.

At the lease signing, the upfront cost is $3500, the equivalent of 3 months rent. The breakdown of those costs is as follows: 1st month’s rent ($1166.67); last month’s rent, which is used as a security deposit ($1166.67); and a broker fee ($1166.67). If you have a cat and/or fish aquarium(s), there will be an amendment in the lease. No dogs allowed per landlord.
