You'll be very comfortable in this quiet, spacious (1800 sq ft) home in a safe, peaceful Cambrian neighborhood.
We'd like you to feel that this your home. You'll have full house privileges, including swimming pool, large refrigerator, full-size washer & dryer, washing your car, use of garage work area, etc. The large kitchen has an electric stove with a BBQ grill, plenty of counter space, plus your own cabinets for personal storage. There's a separate living room with a fireplace to watch TV, read, etc. You can enjoy fresh fruit anytime from the trees in the backyard, which is wood-fenced, private and grassy. There is also a family room for ironing, reading, etc. We use the garage for storage (you can bring a few things) but there is plenty of space for parking in the driveway and directly in front of the house.
Including yourself, a total of 4 people live here. This is a quiet, relaxing home with a lot of privacy (it's not a party house). I've never had any problem residents, so I think you'll enjoy the atmosphere. The house is kept tidy. The whole house was newly carpeted and painted in November, 2000, so it's attractive.
There are two bus stops within a 5-minute walk from the house: Meridian Rd at Dentwood, and Camden at Merrill Loop. If you have questions about the bus service, please contact the VTA directly- I have no information about this.

STATUS: The availability of each room is shown as: Available, Rented, or Pending. Pending means that we have approved an applicant and are waiting for them to sign the rental agreement and pay the deposit; if they don't complete this step, the room will again become available. When a room is rented we immediately change the status, so please rely on the displayed status - there's no need to contact us to ask if it's available.
Each room has telephone and cable connections, a door lock, and optional high-speed Internet (wired or wireless!) is available. None of the rooms are furnished.

This is an upstairs room with a window overlooking the backyard and pool. New ceiling fan with light. Walk-in closet. This room shares the bathroom with one other person (room 4). Size: 10x12'
Everyone is friendly but no one is home much, so it’s a quiet home and easy to relax. There are no age restrictions, but generally our housemates ages range from the mid-20’s to mid-40’s. If you are respectful of others, we’d like to talk to you. Any age, gender or orientation is welcome, but partiers & heavy drinkers are not. Feel free to entertain, and occasional overnight guests are okay. Alcohol is ok, no drugs. No smoking inside.
What about pets? Small pets will be considered but, unfortunately, no cats or dogs.
The utilities are shared equally, approximately $100/person each month, which includes water, gas, electricity, trash and gardener. You may share a phone line or have your own. The security deposit is 1.5 times one month’s rent, and you may pay it over three months if your credit is excellent. Your entire deposit will be returned if the room is vacated in good condition.
Get rewarded for being a good tenant! Our unique Rental Rewards is a free incentive program to encourage long-term residency, encourage referrals of good prospects, and encourage good care of the house. View Rental Rewards program details.
To see the property, first drive by and then Request a Showing Appointment.
When you visit the house, we will show you around and get to know you a bit. Feel free to ask any questions.
The application fee is $26/applicant. Please submit it with your application. This covers a background check, including credit history report. If you apply but we do not process your application (i.e. we accept someone else who applied before you), your money will be returned to you.
Important: If you make an appointment and cannot keep it or will be late, please be considerate and let us know the moment you realize it. We are making a special trip to the house for you! We'll wait 10 minutes and if you're not there, we'll consider it a no-show.
To apply, please complete this application. It is computer-fillable. (Note: We process applications only from prospective tenants whom we have met in person).
Q: Is the property or unit available?
A: The current status is shown on our home page. As soon as the status changes, we update the website.
Q: My personality is like _____. Will you consider me?
A: If you are responsible and considerate of others, we would like to talk to you.
Q: Can my significant other stay over?
A: Yes, occasional overnight guests are allowed. However, only those tenants specified in the rental agreement may live at the house.
Q: May my spouse/significant other/parent/child rent with me?
A: Sorry, our rooms are for one person only.
Q: My credit is bad/awful/can’t be described in words. Will you consider me?
A: Yes. We realize that stuff happens. If you’re a good person, please apply and we’ll discuss your situation.
Q: I can’t pay the deposit all at once. May I make payments?
A: Possibly. If you have good credit and can pay at least one-third up-front, or have no credit or poor credit and can pay at least one-half up-front, AND offer us an acceptable plan for paying the balance, we will work with you. Otherwise, the deposit will be due up front.
Q: I’m coming from out of the area and would like to rent. May I apply?
A: Sorry, we don’t rent to anyone we haven’t met. Let us know when you’ll be in town and we’ll show you the property.
Q: I’d like to visit the property. When we meet, should I bring anything?
A: You don’t need to bring anything, but if you already know that you’d like to rent, it will save time if you bring the application and the application fee ($26/applicant).
Q: For shared housing, may I meet the other housemates?
A: Yes, you are welcome to meet anyone who is home when you visit and ask them any questions you wish, but we don’t ask the housemates to be available for showings because they have their own schedules.
To arrange a showing, Request a Showing Appointment. If you have any questions, we are happy to assist you. Here is our contact info. Email is preferred: info@svrentals.com, phone is (408) 723-5200.
Thank you for your interest. We hope that you like the property! If this is not a match for you, try our other properties at SVRentals.com ("Silicon Valley Rentals") and sign up for free Rental Alerts to be notified when new rentals become available.
