Rent is $2090 per month for 1 year+ lease. Tenants pay for all utilities and driveway snowplowing, while owner provides water and sewer and pays for community road snowplowing and maintenance. Well behaved pets are okay with refundable $800 deposit, and a separate $80 monthly pet fee. No smoking inside the house. Good credit scores. Move-in cost: First, last month rent and refundable security deposit (equal to one month rent, plus pet deposit if applicable). Holding deposit of $500 is due upon signing to secure the lease and will be credited towards move-in payment. All adult tenants must apply, preferably on the Zillow platform, which is easier for you and for me. For those from far away, I can schedule a virtual video call to show you around.
