For year-round rental Available after Sept 20, 2023 - Lease term will be 1+ years. Falmouth Maine, An entire 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom small Ranch house with washer and dryer in the basement. While this is not a very big home and has small bedrooms, this will be your own entire house for rent, complete with front yard, large back yard, 4 car driveway and possible shared use of 1 of the 2 car garage bays. I am keeping one of the bays for myself and my toys and will be accessing the garage when needed. This home was renovated with new paint and new vinyl plank floors in 2021. I think you will find this old home in great condition and would be perfect if you needed a small 900 sq ft home. The neighborhood is the gem of this property, with great neighbors, this is a walking neighborhood and they all come out and do laps on Merrill Rd. Please drive slow in this neighborhood and watch for the daily walkers. We are close to Falmouth shopping, Walmart, movies, supermarkets, 12 minutes away from downtown Portland, Trader Joes and Whole foods.

We will talk on the phone to set up an inperson showing with coordinated dates and times. No zoom showings. Come visit the home and meet me in person, this is your chance to interview me and see what kind of a landlord I will be. I do have plenty of great references from past and current tenants. I hoping you will have good references too. 3. If things work out, and you LOVE the home, you will receive a link to application, you print it out, fill all fields and get it back to me via email, then I will check all your references. 4. If you pass the paper application and references check out, you will then receive a link to an online application where you pay up to $50 each to an online company called TenantReports, I get no fee from this, this all goes to them, where they check your credit score, rental history and criminal records nationwide. 5. If you pass that, and if I accept you, you will need 1 months rent in Security deposit (plus a pet security deposit if applicable). This will be pro-rated non refundable as I will stop showing the home and expect you to move in. You will be also signing a 1.5+ year lease. 6. At or before the move in date, I will need 1st months rent and last months rent and you can get the keys. 7. During tenancy, please keep in touch, let me know if there are any problems. I am very quick to respond. A leaky roof, toilets bursting, and a busted heater are very important to me. I want to know about these things to keep my home in good condition. Sorry this was so long, but I wanted to be very clear. We are looking for great person/people who will take care of my home. It's a great home and a great neighborhood and I hope you will appreciate this home as much as I do. 6 months or longer.
