Comments on condition:
There's a lot of parts of the walls and ceilings that have obviously been taped and then painted over to cover cracks, but it's not too terrible. The bedrooms are huge and gorgeous on the 2nd floor and not quite as nice on the first floor.

Temperature
Is the residence well insulated? Yes
Are there window screens? Yes
Are there storm windows? Yes
Is the residence warm enough? Yes
Is it hard to regulate the heat?
(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): No

Comments on any of the above (temperature):
One of the best parts about this house is that the gas is included in the rent, so the heat bill isn't an issue. It's a little annoying that the laundry machines in the basement are coin operated and that the people next door have a key to the basement to use the machines as well, but in the context of not paying gas, it's all nothing to complain about.

Have you observed on the part of the landlord/landlady discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.? No

Have you had any disagreements with your landlord/landlady concerning who has the responsibility for making the repairs? No

Do you expect to have any problems getting your security deposit returned? If yes, why? (Explain below.): No

If yes, have you taken any legal action concerning the disagreement? (Explain below.): No

Explanations and comments:
It's been while since we've been telling Doug that the dryer isn't working and that still hasn't been fixed. But when important things are broken, Doug comes over almost immediately to fix them [ie: when the power went out, when the washing machine was emptying it's contents onto the floor, and when we bought a christmas tree and needed a saw to give it a fresh cut]. He also comes over in denim cut-offs during the warmer months to mow the lawn. It's ADORABLE.

Neighborhood & Location
Are your neighbors towns-people, students, or a mix? Mix
For whom is the noise level appropriate? School children
Problems with location? Dangerous traffic

Comments on the neighborhood:
Crossing N. Main can be difficult in the middle of the day, but it's not a huge deal.
