and dining room, kitchen with up to the minute appliances including a
Phone jack, TV,Cable jack, Closet, Internet access(wireless), parking
space with free access to the city center.i just bought a new washing
maching so must be taken care of. That's all I could say for now until
you have a taste of my place. I'm looking to rent out my place to a
neat, honest and responsible person to share my available flat. I have
successfully attached some picture of my apartment for you to imagine
what I am talking about. The rent is ($800/Month per room) Bills and
utilities included , Bond: $700 (The Bond is a refundable security
deposit). the rooms are still available or if you want me to reserve
the room for you let me know asap.I wish you the best in your search
if my place doesn't suit your preferable location and taste.

Cheers and Regards !!!!!

Not only does this have the usual signs of bad english, conveniently all bills are included and it is also a long long way from where I am looking to rent but I google maps'd the address and there are no apartments on the street, houses only. It is always a warning sign to me when they say something about "Reserve the room" or "sign you up" as it suggests nothing about seeing the property nor meeting any other tenants
