This Studio is the basement of an existing home and bungalow at 4102 Hastings Dr. El Paso, TX. You have a private entry. Landlord will NEVER enter your apartment at any time without your advance permission (presumably to repair something). It will be your own private hideaway. You have access to a back yard with covered porch which includes a barbeque and picnic table. All utilities are furnished for you---water, electric, garbage, sewer, gas, Internet, and Internet-based TV networks. You have your own Minisplit Air Conditioner and Heater and your own remote control thermostat. You may receive mail and packages to this address. You will find only kind, cooperate helpful people living here. Landlord and his wife live in a house above this basement unit. Despite it being a basement, there are windows and it is light and airy--and yet--it is mostly below ground level which gives it a very calm and quiet atmosphere. I can only rent to a single person who needs a fully furnished home/personal headquarters in El Paso, or perhaps is moving into El Paso and needing a temporary place to live while they sort out more permanent housing or wait for household goods to arrive. Minimum rental period is 30 days. (Rental agreement will be Month-to-Month). This is a basement, and the ceiling is low in places. I am 6' and while I could and HAVE stayed in this unit, I would not rent to anyone taller than me, and I would prefer someone less tall. What is the rental rate? Let's start with just the rental fee for a fully furnished and equipped 850 square foot apartment: Rent of $650. Let's add just $100 for supplied utilities: Electric, Gas, Internet, Garbage, Water and Sewer (trust me, it would cost more than $250). So, the easy and logical monthly rate will be $750 for full rent AND utility charges. Refundable Security Deposit amount is $400. I have a strong preference for a single person. I will consider a couple on a case-by-case basis. Renting to 2 persons would be $100 additional with a $600 deposit. Are you still interested?

Are you still interested? Download the application to rent at the same link and fill it out. (Notice there are 2 applications--one for military--one for all others). Email your application back to me (My email address is on the application form). If this ad is up--I have near future availability. Please note--I am not a hotel. I am not an AirBNB (even though I function a bit like a long-term AirBNB). Hotel owners have police and attorneys and AirBNB operators have AirBNB to back them if they get a terrible tenant. I do not have those beneficial resources. For this reason, I follow a time-proven method of investigating you BEFORE I agree to rent to you. I will ask you for a number of references and I will contact each of them. The application and approval process: You send me your application filled out--you may type your answers/information directly onto the application form (which is a word.doc) and simply attach it to an email. Or, fill it out by hand and scan and email to me. I do not check your credit, but I have access to law enforcement information---if you have a shady past, I will NOT rent to you--so don't waste your time if you don't have at least 3 impeccable references--work mates, supervisors, pastors, business partners, neighbors, etc. who will vouch for your good character, honesty, and diligence. If you are a decent person (like most folks) you will find me eminently reasonable, easy, and constructive to work with as a Landlord. I will usually need about 2-3days to fully process an application (and give you a YES or NO answer). If YES (which it probably would be) I will ask you for your fully refundable deposit of $250 to hold the unit for you. When you arrive to move in, you will pay remaining deposits and rent due. When you move out you will be entitled to a full refund of deposit provided the unit is left reasonably clean and all original equipment is present and undamaged. You may receive mail to this address. You may have an overnight guest (on occasion). Ideal tenant would be single, quiet, studious, and less than 6' tall.
