Thanks for your inquiry regarding my property I have for rent at (((REDACTED))), NY (((REDACTED))). My name is Lorenzetti J Gerald, My family and I just moved down to Kansas due to my job transfer, we will be here for 4 to 5 years. My initial plan was to sell the house but I find it difficult to let go this adorable home, I have decided to rent home to a responsible tenant who is willing to take good care of it in our absence. Pets are allowed as long as they are not destructive. The rent is $800 and security deposit is $700 and total move-in cost is $1,500.
Below are the questions I need you to answer so we can discuss further. You can drive by the property for now to check the outside and the neighborhood, it is available for a long lease. Get back to me with the answers to the questionnaire below so we can discuss further on how to get the keys and paperwork of the property to you if I find you suitable and decide to rent the property to you.
