    What's special

    I am not taking any more inquiries. I am keeping the listing active for a few days until the interested party actually signs the rental agreement. The house is in the city of Des Moines, but it is in the Johnson school district. The school bus stop is less than a block away. Quiet neighborhood great for children. Close to shopping and access to interstate. Fenced yard. Four bedrooms. 2 and 1/2 baths. One of the bedrooms and the laundry are in the basement. Two car attached garage. Renter pays utilities. The average electric and gas bill is $200 monthly. Garbage fee is included in water bill, about $100 monthly. The property is currently occupied, so showing of the property is coordinated with the current renter. Up to 2 days' notice may be needed to be able to see the house. The $1710 per month is a $100 discount from the normal $1810. The $100 is for the tenant taking care of the lawn and snow removal and minor handyman maintenance. Small house-broken dogs are allowed for an additional $25 per month per dog. No cats. Maximum of two small dogs. $30 application fee per each adult. Applicants need to have good credit, clear a background check and good report from previous landlord. No smoking in the house or garage.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
