4033 SE Belmont


View Larger MapThis place is having an open house on Sunday from noon to 3 according to this craigslist ad. Open houses are a nightmare for landlord and tenant both. It sucks for you because by the time you get there at 15 minutes before the scheduled open house, there are already 5-6 people waiting at the front door. Curiously, that's why it sucks for me too. We legally have to take the first qualified applicant. My advice to you would be to not give them your application fee unless you know that you're first in line, because who wants to waste $40?
I had an open house for a studio yesterday from 4pm to 6pm, and the place was rented by 3:15. Depending on the landlord, maybe you can call them up and ask to see it a day or an hour early. Bring a bribe. Some landlords REALLY like two 22-ounce bottles of hard-to-find Full Sail varieties from Belmont Station. Just sayin'.
