Exit

Hello,

I’m writing about your place for rent. I am a fully employed professor of the arts at the California College of the Arts (where I am a Full Time Adjunct Professor) and the San Francisco Art Institute (where I am regular Visiting Faculty). I have lived in the Bay Area since 1995. I am a practicing artist (see link below if interested). I have a dog (we have a trainer and I have paperwork if you would like to see it from the trainer outlining my dog and his good behavior, etc.).

I currently live in Canyon, CA. You may or may not be familiar with it. It’s just over Skyline in on the other side of the Oakland Hills. I moved there three years ago when I decided I needed more space than my basement apartment in SF afforded (or cost). I love living in the woods, but I miss being able to walk out the door and be a part of a larger community (the city). More importantly, I have been looking for a place to move into with my girlfriend as my place in Canyon is cozy, but perhaps a little too cozy for two. It’s been a tough search and we’ve been looking all over the place. We do prefer the lake area and the hills east of the lake (I think we’ve set our boundary at 14th Ave.).

Please let me know if the rental is still available to be seen.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Aaron XXXXXX

    These aren’t as weird as I was expecting. Although, I’d be a bit more vague when sending my personal information in response to a CL ad. Or I’d lie. The rental market must be tough around there.

      Maybe that’s what is so surprising:they aren’t very weird. They are certainly, Cover Letters for personal lives, but maybe our personal lives aren’t really that weird. The better cover letter:

      I’m an alcoholic Postman with two ex-wives and a habit of not vacuuming. The garden will go to shit, litterally, because I won’t pick up after either of my Rottweilers and I’ll be parking my ‘project’ ’63 Chevelle in the drive on blocks. I pay my bills on time though. I am caught up with both my ex’s support and all three of my kids are excelling in school. I look forward to hearing more about you as a landlord.
      Best, Bill.
