No background check housing in North Seattle?

I'm not proud of my past, and I did some time. I am looking for housing that doesn't consider background checks. Preferably in north seattle areas. I am on the registry, which makes finding housing extremely difficult. I need to get out of this transitional housing. I'm okay with a studio as long as it has its own bathroom and cooking space. I have a housemate that is looking as well, so 2 bedroom options as well.

I made some bad decisions, but I'm not a bad guy. I am not my crime, and I've done a TON of work and specialized therapy to figure out how things got the way they did. I'm just looking to rebuild and keep moving forward. A job, housing, stability in general is key to my success in the community. I'd appreciate any leads anyone can provide.

Looking for long term sublet 2BD/2bath allows dogs

Hello! I am looking for a long-term sublet. Two bedroom two bath, allows one senior 55 pound dog. I’m looking for areas in the city or West seattle where I won’t have to worry about stepping in human Poo (so no place like Pioneer Square or lower Belltown). I’m looking to move in late spring.

My budget is 3K.

Ideally, I’d love a quick and easy place to let the pup out in the morning without me having to brave the world on a proper walk.

Garage is ideal, but not a dealbreaker if without.

I have my own furniture that’s in storage so that is negotiable.

Own Condo with Ex - Help!

TL; DR: Own condo with ex. Been trying to sell for 5mo with no success. What do I do?

Bought a 1bed 1bath condo in Seattle a few years ago with my boyfriend (I’ve already had more than enough scoldings about why you should never do this, so please be nice in the replies😭). After moving out (we relocated to a new state), we had a property manager and a tenant for a year which helped with the mortgage costs and that was great. Should’ve stuck with that route honestly, but we decided to put the condo up for sale this past June when the tenant moved out. Activity has been SUPER slow, so we’ve since been having to pay the full mortgage / HOA fees / PMI ourselves. It’s currently November, and there’s been very little showings - we’ve only had one super low-ball offer since listing it. Already dropped down to our lowest price point and our agent says there’s nothing more we can do since it’s just a bad market right now.

We broke up, and he wants to just leave it vacant and wait it out until the condo sells (he’s super worried about squatters, damage to the unit, affecting showings, and it just being a hassle in general), but I’m now in a financial position where it’s really difficult for me to keep paying the full mortgage and fees (before you ask, yes I’m working several jobs to try and get out of this predicament). I’ve suggested everything: us buying the other person out for ownership, taking the condo off the market and finding another long-term tenant, keeping the condo on the market and finding a short-term tenant, listing it on airbnb (but note that our HOA says minimum 30 day rentals), etc. I get where he’s coming from, but I feel like 5 months is a long time for our property to be vacant (it just feels like we’re wasting money right now when we don’t necessarily have to), especially with little to no activity with it on the market, and I’m feeling pretty pessimistic about it selling anytime soon. I’d really appreciate any advice on what you think the best decision moving forward might be, and maybe I can show him the responses on here and see if he’s willing to come to an agreement together. Feel free to ask me any questions that might help you decide the best advice. Thank you!

Moving to West Seattle in Feb. What's the rental vibe?

Hi hi, moving back up to Seattle from Los Angeles because it sucks here 😂. I love West Seattle, but there aren't a ton of townhomes or houses that pop up on the rental market compared to other neighborhoods. Assuming bc it's the older demographic home owners choosing not to be landlords. How do people reliably find good rentals for this particular area that aren't condo buildings? Property management companies? Zillow? Craigslist? I've looked at all these options and pickings are still slim. Is there a realtor someone could recommend? I've done a lot of research, but moving across state lines is gonna be a pain and I just want some advice because if I come up for a week to find a place and there ain't much, then I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks!

Looking for short term private rental

I’m spending about 5 months in the Seattle area starting in November and I’m looking for a lease takeover or sublease option so I can have my own space for that time (until roughly the end of March).

My sister lives in Everett, so I’m hoping for something in that area, Seattle, or Edmonds/Lynnwood and my budget is up to $1800/month plus utilities.

Some more about me: I’m a software developer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. My current job is letting me stay on with the move so I’ll be working remotely for the time I’m in Washington. When I’m not working, I love playing guitar and watching scary movies with my sister. I have a 9 year old kitty named Cleo who’s a registered ESA and mostly spends her days sleeping and eating. I’m moving to Washington to get away from Utah for the winter and get some space to work on my mental health.

Crazy Rent Increase!???

Hello all,

Not sure if this post belongs here. Feel free to delete if not.

I am renting a studio in Seattle and so far the property management has been pretty disappointing.

A few years ago I had the lease manager tell me they would be increasing my rent because of the amount of money I make. This sounded illegal but I let it go because at that time I found it affordable, a great location, and near work. I didn't the $100 increase.

Then recently within the past year, the utility bills have been astronomical. There have been erroneous charges of over $300 a billing cycle. The property always came out with excuses that the meters were inaccurate or something along those lines. They gave me credit back, but I felt they couldn't accurately know how much they owed me. I left it as is. Just a few months ago I gave up after insisting the bills were incorrect. They had me at $1200. I ended up paying $800ish after some credit they gave me. I got so tired and paid what they wanted.

Fast forward, the building has been converted to MFTE. You can opt out of the program or apply, but if you don't qualify you pay full price on rent. $1100 atm. I spoke to my lease manager and an employee who takes care of the finances over the phone, and I was told we would be getting 6 months advance notice for any increase in rent. I got an email in June saying they would raise the rent 3% with a fixed dollar amount for water/gas/garbage($65) in December(6months). Just last month I applied for the MFTE program. They require a ton of bank statements, statements from where you get money, job verifications, etc...but the paperwork has been in process. I got an email this week that they would be raising the price in April(6months from today) to $2900!!!!!

What is going on here? Can they do that? And who should I talk to about this? Any clue?

I have never been in a scenario like this and I feel these people are out to get me, rather than help me.

Any ideas?

Much appreciated.

How Do Y'all Split Expenses With Your Roommates

A group of UW students are eliminating the need for fronting the bill or making payback requests by automatically splitting and tracking your group expense at the point of purchase. If you're having trouble splitting expenses with your roommates pretty often and need a more efficient way of doing so, check them out and join the beta on paisley.finance . They are actually doing 10% off all your split expenses up to $100 for the first few groups.

Looking for a room to rent

I’m looking to rent a room in Seattle starting the week of October 21st. I’m flexible on the area and will likely spend most of my time in the office. Ideally, I’d love to keep the rent under $1,000 a month. I’ll be traveling back to California in November and December to spend the holidays with my family who will join me in Seattle after the current school year ends, so I’ll only need the room until June 2025.

Anyone know of co-housing situations in Seattle?

I'm interested in finding some nonconformist living situations in the coming months. I'm singe and in my early 30s, but stuff like living in multigenerational housing appeals to me. Also looking for it to be cheap, obviously. But yeah, any places y'all can recommend? Must also be LGBTQ safe.
