About 528 Short St
Property has 2 Single-Family Homes on a single lot with a shared driveway and private fenced yards. 528 Short Street is the front / larger of two single-family homes on a single large lot in Hillsborough - that we therefore refer to as the Hillsborough Duplex. But other than a shared driveway, these are two completely separate houses, with 528 being 3-Bedrooms / 1 Bath @ 1,102 SqFt. Located in the heart of Hillsborough, off Hwy 70 and very near to I85 / I40 for quick access to Mebane (14 min / 9.5 mi) and Burlington (26 min / 22 mi) to the West, and Durham to the East (20 min / 15 mi). Here's your chance to have the small town feel of Hillsborough (Orange County), but still able to be in Downtown Durham in only 20 minutes - giving you the best of both worlds! This house has an enormous fenced front yard with a private patio and a sunroom with a small rear deck leading to the shared backyard. On the side of the house is a door to stairs leading up to the attic, which can be used for additional storage. Each of the three bedrooms has a ceiling fan and there is vinyl tile flooring throughout (no carpet). – Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) Accepted – Tenant Responsible for Utilities (Electric, Gas & Water) – Pets allowed with additional cleaning fee and/or pet rent – High-speed Internet, Cable/Satellite TV & Alarm available at tenant expense – Washer/Dryer hookups off kitchen ---------- RENTAL CRITERIA: – NO SMOKING OR VAPING OF ANYTHING! – NO PRIOR EVICTIONS - (Considered after 5 years with increased security deposit) – NO RECENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY - (Considered 3 years after conclusion with increased security deposit) – NO ACTIVE COLLECTIONS (excluding Medical & Student), LIENS or JUDGEMENTS - (Considered with increased security deposit) – EMPLOYEMENT, INCOME, REFERENCES, CREDIT & RENTAL HISTORY WILL ALL BE VERIFIED – POSITIVE CURRENT & PRIOR LANDLORD REFERENCE(S) REQUIRED – NO MINIMUM CREDIT SCORE - (Application, Background, Credit and Score determine Security Deposit @ 1x, 1.5x or 2x Rent) – STANDARD SECURITY DEPOSIT 1.5x RENT - (Full or Partial Cash Security Deposit alternative may be available via MyObligo) – INCOME OF 3x RENT REQUIRED (or Equivalent Co-Signer / Voucher) – ALL LEASE PROVISIONS ARE STRICTLY ENFORCED!
