Looking for TWO FEMALE STUDENTS to rent around August 23, 2025, or earlier (can be ready by June 1st and after) for furnished bedrooms including linens in a Maiden Choice/Arbutus area private single-family home. The house will be shared with two female UMBC/UMB students/professionals and the landlord couple. We're looking for a kind person that respects diversity that are either a UMBC/UMB Ph.D., Graduate, or Junior/Senior Undergraduate student that are a non-smoker within the home, non-drug user, pet-free, and a tidy person to share a large open concept renovated 4 bedroom and 3.5 bathrooms on a dead-end quiet street. If you have a medical support animal; no cats or shedding animals are allowed due to allergies, and you will need your updated documents from your physician and veterinarian. All medical and support animals must remain in the tenant’s bedroom and crate when not home or in their room, and you are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. You will have to submit proof of renter’s insurance. Other than medical support animals, absolutely no other animals are allowed. We currently have a non-shedding older friendly labradoodle that will not be cratered, will not run away if the door is left open, and the sole responsibility of the landlord. 

Why pay $1,391 per month for 9-12 months to live on-campus and have to bring everything to use in a kitchen and bathroom including your linens? Our house is less than 2 miles from the UMBC campus and close to two shopping centers with shuttle stops to both sites and walking distance to our house. The UMBC Shuttle and public transportation bus stop is located a short walk over to the next block. The UMBC Transit runs buses almost every 15 minutes from the Paradise-Purple Line during the week from 7am-12am. The first pickup at Leeds and S. Beechfield Avenues bus stop is roughly around 7:25am during the week, again around 7:45am, and so on. The UMBC transit adds a third bus during the week around 10am. You can monitor the buses on the Transit Predictions (goswift.ly). The Purple-Paradise line is the most reliable of all the UMBC transit schedules. 

The rooms for rent are two upstairs bedrooms that share a bathroom with large closets and include hangers. There's a full or queen bed, matching long dresser with mirror, tall dresser, two nightstands or a shelf headboard, desk with office chair, smart TV, two sets of bedroom linens and plenty of bath towel sets. All bedrooms have their own key locks. You will have your own large kitchen cupboard, locking locker cubby with your own key in the laundry room, and the shared bathroom has a locking cabinet (there will only be two people sharing the bathroom).
