[Highland Park] seeking renter/roomie for two huge attic rooms in Morningside
by Naima Van Swol 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Come be our roommate! *Two large rooms for rent, in the attic level/3rd story of our large home in Morningside. * * * *The house*: there are two extra-large rooms for rent on the top floor of our 5 bedroom house. You would be renting the whole 3rd floor *both rooms for 550 per month, utilities included*. Extra if you want satellite TV. The house is huge, 2200 sq ft, so there would be plenty of space for you. Our kitchen was recently remodeled and there is a spacious dining area, living room, breakfast nook and back yard. We would welcome you to use. There is also ample *storage space in the basement* and we have a *washer and dryer*, we welcome you to use, as well. * * *We are*: a family of 3; husband, wife and 5 year old son. We are super laid back, open minded tolerant people. Husband and kid are on normal 9-5 M-F schedules and wife is on 3 day a week night turn. We are looking for roommate to help with mortgage while wife is in school. We also have a large friendly mostly obedient dog. Our dog is pretty great with other dogs, so *pets are welcome*, as, long as they can get along. * * *You are*: responsible, polite, drama free and employed/full time student. Please be totally drug free. that’s kind of nonnegotiable. And please be willing to smoke cigarettes outside, if that’s something you do. Social drinker is totally OK, especially if you share your wine. Background check, prior to move in is a complete must. * * *Our nabe*: Morningside is a great neighborhood. It is safe, clean; our neighbors are friendly and helpful. We are *right on the bus line*. And parking is always available on the street. As far as we are concerned the location, can’t be beat. We are pretty much 15 minutes away from everything awesome in Pittsburgh. * * *The rent*: rent would be 550 per month, for the whole 3rd floor and access to ALL COMMON AREAS. Ideally, you could sign a yearlong lease, but that is negotiable. 275 dollar security deposit, for a total of 825 to move in. this figure could be a little more depending on the pet situation. Like everything, it is negotiable. If any of this sounds good, please email us at jpoolevanswol(a)gmail.com or pittsburghrules79(a)gmail.com or call (727)7423915 or (727)7429908 or *check out our blog <http://www.pittsburghrules.com>* if you want to learn more about us. *www.pittsburghrules.com * thank you, naima van swol and please email for more pictures. [image: look at that fridge, yo!] kind of hard to see, but this is the large, remodeled kitchen. here is the front of the house. very huge. tons of room.

[Highland Park] roach infestation N. St. Clair St.
by crhodes197＠aol.com 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

This problem is on 920 N. St. Clair St. which KDKA corrected on their 11 o'clock report. The property is a rental and has been a problem for years. the owner fails to maintain it. The owner is listed as PJ Marien and Associates in care of Lacchino Drapery on Baum Blvd.. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/video/7738947-cockroach-infestation-disrupts… They have sent someone in to clean it out but does it really have to take a TV story to have someone maintain their rental property?
