Hello again!

My name is James A Smith, born in Charlotte, NC. I am Deputy Director General in Skyscanner. com. I have worked in Los Angeles , CA the last five years and I bought this apartment during my stay in Los Angeles, I'm renting the apartment for an unlimited time, but now the home is busy and will be available from November 10, 2017.

I have lived in this apartment for five years, and it's like a second home for me, I need someone to take good care of it. I'm in need of a good and responsible tenant that can move in into my house and take excellent care of it. I will solicit for your absolute maintenance of this house and want you to treat it as your own.

The money is not the main problem, but I want you to keep it tidy all the time.

Now I am back to my family in Charlotte, and I am looking to rent my apartment. My job does not allow me to leave Charlotte where I am now even for a single day. We just hired new staff, and I am in charge of their training, but this will not affect you at all. I can arrange to rent the apartment from here, using Airbnb. If you are interested, please email me back so I can explain how you can rent my apartment through Airbnb.


Best wishes!
