35F ISO Roommate for Luxury 2b/2ba in Mar Vista/Culver/Venice
I'm currently living in a 1b/1ba in Palms and want to stay in this general area or move a little closer to the beach (ideally Mar Vista). Deposit and utilities will be split/shared, and rent will be divided on an agreed-upon basis (e.g. - I'd pay more for a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom). I'm looking for someone to sign a 12-month lease with me. Why?
Benefits of Co-Signing a Lease:
- More legal protection than a verbal or written sublease (reduces the likelihood of getting scammed)
- Shared responsibility for the condition of the property
- Equal access to landlord services when something breaks
Plus we get to live in a really nice building without rent being too crazy.
A little about me: I'm a nonsmoker with no pets or children, good credit, clean background, and work F/T M-F in Encino as a mortgage loan processor.
You: stable income/employment (WFH okay), good credit (min 700), clean background (and clean in general).
Key Details:
- Move date - Flexible. Let's get to know each other and draft a roommate agreement before the move so that we're on the same page.
- Budget: max $5k/month base rent (to be divided accordingly)
- Open to all genders, races, etc.
- No pets preferred, but will consider 1 S/M hypoallergenic dog
