                                    <p>I treat my tenants as I would like to be treated.  I make promptly repairs, and address their concerns.  I take great pride of maintaining the Sagamore House the cleanest and nicest property in the neighborhood.  My tenants told me that I was “the nicest landlord they’d ever had”.  <p>Sagamore House is a quiet beautiful rental property located in Oceanview neighborhood of San Francisco.  It's ideally situated close to San Francisco State University, City College of San Francisco, MUNI, BART, 101 and 280 freeway access, Stonestown Galleria, and Lake Merced.</p></p>

                                <p>Apartment rental is always more complicated than what it should be in San Francisco.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>Over the years, I have found a clean defined process works well for my potential tenants and me, and I always communicate the process to them before they even come to see the apartment.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>the process</strong></p>
<p style=""><span><span>1.<span style="font: 7pt Times New Roman;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><strong>apartment showing</strong> &ndash; a chance for potential tenant to see the unit &amp; the neighborhood, for me to answer any question they have, and for us to know a little about each other.</p>
<p style=""><span><span>2.<strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></strong></span></span><strong>rental application</strong> - once a potential tenant expresses his/her interest in renting the apartment, <strong>each</strong> potential renter and co-signer will need to fill out a rental application, which includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>rental application</li>
<li>co-sign form if a co-signer is needed</li>
<li>consent form for credit check</li>
<li>a copy of driver license or identification card</li>
<li>some form of financial statements</li>
<li>a check of $35 for credit check</li>
</ul>
<p style=""><span><span>3.<span style="font: 7pt Times New Roman;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><strong>credit &amp; reference check</strong> &ndash; a credit report helps to determine if the potential renter can afford to pay, and if she/he a financially responsible person.<span>&nbsp; </span>A reference check to her/his previous landlords will help to determine if the potential renter is a responsible tenant.<span>&nbsp; </span>It normally takes a day or two to complete this step.</p>
