Seeking 3rd Roommate - East Austin

Room for rent | East Austin, Austin, TX, USA

I currently reside in a fairly large 3-bedroom house in East Central Austin, pretty close to the Sahara Lounge. A friend of mine is currently living here with me, and we're searching for a 3rd roommate to round out the house.The cost for rent is hundred fifty dollars per month (All Bills Paid). A deposit of hundred fifty dollars plus the first month's rent will be required upon move-in. Flexibility regarding collection of the deposit is very possible, but must be paid in full within three months of move-in. Additionally, I expect at least three months’ notice before you plan to move out. The bedroom measures ten feet by twelve feet, with an 8-foot ceiling. The private bathroom and two closet spaces are all 8 feet tall as well. There is carpet flooring only in the bedroom and closet areas, and tile flooring in all other areas of the house.We strive to maintain good Kitchen and Living Room (Shared Area) cleanliness around the house. Bedroom and bathroom areas are private, but we keep the kitchen and community/shared living room areas clean and organized. There is no tobacco smoking in the house, and pets are (sadly) not allowed. The shared space areas of the house are fully furnished, but you will need to furnish the bedroom yourself, as well as provide your own cookware and dishware. Other amenities of the house include a clothes washer and dryer (inside and readily accessible), a fire-pit area behind the house, and adequate attic and crawl-space areas for additional storage above and below the house itself.We are searching for a third roommate to move in anytime moving forward beginning on Tuesday, January sixth, twenty twenty . Negotiating a later move-in date (no later than early March) is possible if you can't move in right away, so feel free to be up-front about your moving situation. If you are interested in viewing the room, please respond to this ad to schedule a meeting.Many Thanks, and I look forward to hearing back from you!Jimmy

How to Narrow Down Rooms for Rent in Austin, TX

Start by considering your commute needs and budget. Focus on neighborhoods that balance affordability with convenient access to your work or school.

What to Compare Before Renting a Room

When comparing rooms for rent, pay attention to the lease terms, including move-in dates and security deposits.
