Comments on condition:
House still isn't really "finished", but it's totally liveable and isn't falling apart, which was a refreshing change from most rentals.

Temperature
Is the residence well insulated? No
Are there window screens? Yes
Are there storm windows? No
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):
Do have to be careful to turn the heat off when you leave your room- each room controls own heat. Sometimes have to kick it up high to get it to come on, but will stay warm for a while if you turn it down after initial warm-up.

Relationship With Landlord

Does s/he enter the premises without your consent or without giving legal notice? No

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

Is the landlord/landlady willing to make repairs? If yes, comment on how promptly (below): Yes

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

Have you had any major disagreements with your landlord/landlady? (Explain below.): No

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

Explanations and comments:
Eric's totally cool, and really easy to get along with. He hasn't necessarily done everything we'd like to make the house better, but again, totally liveable and relatively nice, even if it's fairly devoid of character on its own.

Neighborhood & Location
Are your neighbors towns-people, students, or a mix? Mix
For whom is the noise level appropriate? School children
Problems with location? None of the above

Comments on the neighborhood:
Located two blocks east of Tappen, and is ideal for people who spend a lot of time going to the Art building or theater building. Really isn't that far from anything else, but it's nice to know that if you're in the art area, its only about a block walk home.
