My notes on the rent. - I have lived here 4 years, never late once. - Two units in my building have been empty since August (I see the signs). - A similar one-bedroom two streets over is listed at $1,450. - The dishwasher has been broken since June. I reported it in writing twice. - I would sign a 12-month lease at $1,425, or 18 months at $1,450.
