… a famous philosopher once said – and corresponds perfectly with my desperate flat search in Paris. While waiting for a happy ending to this discouraging story, I get weird flat offers like this one: …
Thanks for your mail and the flat and rooms are still available and Like i said,my apartment has 3 rooms and a living room,so i use one room while two is for rent and if i finally get a renter for just a room,then the other room could be used as guest room.i believe you have seen the pictures of my apartment and are you ok with the rooms and everything like the living room,bathroom and toilet that is in the rooms that I have for rent and would be for your private use and also pictures of the Kitchen where we deal with our stomach…!!!:).
The rent for the apartment is ¤400 while you would also make a security deposit of ¤600.This deposit would be refunded to you at the end of your stay in the apartment if nothing is destroyed during your stay.
Before we proceed though,there are some conditions and rules and I would like us to decide on and it just requires your consent and afterwards we can proceed with the contract and for you to reserve the room and to move in soon:
1.You shall sign a document confirming that the room has been reserved for you (sure, without ever having seen the flat … )
2.You shall make your first month payment to me . (even better, no worries!)
3.You shall have to read the agreement contract which i shall send to you firstly as an attached mail before you make your payment.
For the document to be prepared successfully,I would be needing the following details:
(1) Your move in and out date; (how am I supposed to know when I move out again anyway??)
(2) Your current address and also the address where you would like the keys to the apartment,the Original copy of the contract and also the receipt of payment sent to after confirmation of payment from my mother,which you shall sign and bring along with you when moving in finally as my room mate
(3) Your scanned ID passport for identification..
The house is located on
bd de Strasbourg (where is the house number ???)
Gare de l’est
Paris 75010
You can come and see the apartment and look around the environment (helloo? I wanna see the flat, not the ENVIRONMENT!). I am not around for now and would not be back for sometime. I am in London now on a internship project attached to a firm and I have being sent by my firm to supervise and would be back by the ending of Nov, 2008. As soon as i have confirmed you as my flatmate, I would send you the Keys to the apartment by mail and also send the contract documents and receipt as well. I would scan to you my ID for identification.
I hope you quite understand me and everything? (no, I am a bit dumb … )
There is also a washer and dryer in the apartment for the laundry needs and also to the apartment has a car park….Infact,it has being allotted two car spaces.
I wait to read from you soonest to continue the contract and further details about the documents towards having you as my room mate.
Warmest regards,
XXXXX
Hmm … I think I’ll wait for the next offer …
