It might not even be legal for her to call the dining room a bedroom, who has the other two bedrooms and how much do they contribute to the rent? PS Who is "the girl", does she own the house, is she a renter who is trying to work a chisle on the landlord? I wouldn't pay it, there must be something better than that in an apartment or house share.
no way! If it is a 3 bedroom and you are not even getting a bedroom, then you are getting seriously ripped off. If you were getting one of the bedrooms, you would be getting a good deal, but to pay 1/3 of the rent for what is NOT an equitable 1/3 of the living space (a real bedroom) is ridiculous.
Don't use Zillow as a source. Sounds like a fair deal especially if it includes utilities.
Owners rent out their houses for various amounts - from market rate to just above or at their mortgage payment - depends how long they've owned it. Some don't make a profit on their rentals, just fyi.
The house is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath with living room, dining room, fenced in yard, and 2 car garage.
I would get the dining room as a converted bedroom, and the half bath as my private bath. I would have to share the shower. No closet is available, and no parking in garage. I would have access to washer/dryer, and the kitchen.
Zillow lists "estimated rent" at $1050, and the girl claims she pays $1300 a month, plus $250 a month in utilities. She is asking about $500 a month for renting the dining room and half bath. It is in Dayton, Ohio. Is this a good deal? I would *prefer* a townhouse with a basement and garage over being crammed in a little corner of someone's house, but maybe I am being unrealistic.
