Hello , , thank you for your inquiry,
First of all, sorry for the late reply I had a terrible week and confronted a terrible storm out here.
The apartment I own on 201 Main St is available and ready to move in as we speak at a monthly rent of 960.00 for the entire property. I tried to send you the photos but I got an error (can you check please if you received them?), or can you add me or my email address to your contact list? Maybe that's why it doesn't go through.

Now, I would need a few rental details as well, how long do you plan to rent, starting when? Also can you please confirm your phone number
I'm currently on an oil rig but I could plan a swing back to arrange a showing. I'm sure you will love it, no one lived there since I've taken the photos.

A few things about myself, I'm 54 years old and I am inspecting offshore oil rigs. Most of the time I am offshore, I return a few times/year. Also a few things about the apartment to refresh your memory: The utilities and HOA are included in rent, it is a 1 bed, 1 bath, 1,224 sq ft apartment. The parking is included, there is a private garage.
The apartment is furnished just like in the photos I sent you, it also has a washer/dryer. I will move my extra furniture in the storage if you have your own, you choose what will remain, so basically, you can rent it with or without my furniture.
What else...? the neighborhood is very safe, behaved pets are permitted (no pet fee).

The rent is for the whole apartment, I will not stay there when I return because I have another home from the oil company.
If interested, please give me some details about you (age, lifestyle or whatever you think makes you a good tenant).

The move in-amount/deposit will be the first month + one deposit.
