I’ve been combing craigslist for apartments in Boston and found this gem of a listing. I wonder if a psych eval and full physical work-up are part of the screening process, too.
You would be renting directly from me, the owner, so no management company fee or hassles. $300 security deposit and last month’s rent at lease signing, then first month’s payable at move in.
If you are interested in seeing the place, please write an introduction of your group, what questions you have, what you’re looking for/
I’m looking for a cohesive, organized group of responsible people without major cleanliness, noise, financial or clutter issues. I prefer a group where all people will stay the whole lease year without subletting, or if not that at least one Type A person would be there the whole year to provide some continuity and keep things organized. Since the hardwood floors are still fairly new, I’d prefer people who would most of the time not wear shoes in the apartment, this will keeps the floors looking good for a long long time.
Noooooo thank you. Good luck, lady. You should just live in it yourself because you’re going to have a hard time getting people to agree to those terms. Even people who are routinely neat and uncluttered and who leave their shoes at the door.

If I were a landlord my post would be so much cooler:
You must be clean in an anal retentive sort of way. If you play any music other than what I like, you will be shot. Pets allowed, but only pets small enough to fit in my frying pan. You will only be allowed to walk around wearing special foam slippers so you don’t damage the floor. Redheads not allowed on premises. No fat chicks.
Much better, wouldn’t you agree?
