Hi,
The apartment is available and it's located at 750 3rd Street NW, Washington, DC 20001, with one bedroom, one livingroom, one bath and one kitchen, square feet 851.
I really want to find a good and responsible tenant for it and i was hoping if you can send me some personal informations about yourself. The monthly rent of $950 will include all utilities such as water, electricity, internet, cable, parking etc.
The only problem is that i had to move with my job to Jefferson City, MO (i'm an Air Force MSgt - Whiteman Airforce Base) where i am now and i left the keys and contract already signed by me at Rent.com and they will handle the payment and delivery for us.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to me ASAP and i will send you the details step by step. Thank you and hope to hear back from you.
Regards,
Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey and thanks for taking the time to reply.
I am moved to dc for work as well, new position as a Sous Chef at a Restaurant in Dc, so my job is pretty safe. We are a couple of young people, my wife is studying to be a Computer Engineer and we have a medium dog called luna.
We are planning the move in date to be either june 15th or july 1st.
We really loved the place! Is it furnished? Because we have our own furniture...
I would like some info regarding the move in price, meaning the total needed to move in to the apt.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,

Hi Derek,
The apartment is unfurnished. My furniture is in the storage room located at the same
floor.
If we decide to proceed with this transaction, I will have to contact rent.com and
provide them all the necessary information, so they can start the process right away. I
will need your full name and address for that. You will receive a notification from
Rent.com shortly after that, together with all the instructions to follow and the
invoice as well.
Regarding the payment, you will be instructed to deposit the money, first month rent
plus one month security deposit to a Rent.com account.They will hold and insure your
money until you check the apartment and decide if you want take it or not. That is how
their buyer protection policy works. As far as my concerns, I will be glad to know that
Rent.com has the possession of the money during the delivery period. That is my
insurance.
As soon as the funds have been deposited into their account, they will immediately
start the shipping process. The keys and rental contract will be delivered at your
address in no more than 3 working days. You will be given a ten days inspection period
from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you decide to hold the
apartment, then you will have to authorize Rent.com to release the funds to me, and the
transaction will be completed. If you will not be satisfied with the apartment, you
will be able to send the keys and contract back through the same service and ask
Rent.com to return the funds to you.
Though I am sure you will love the apartment, it is good to know that you do have this
second option available. If you wish to proceed with renting the apartment, please
provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through Rent.com right
away.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Jeffrey
