Off Season Promotion

This spectacular apartment became available during our off-season. This is unfortunate for us, but great for you. Given the seasonal nature of the rental market, the Owners don’t expect to receive around $2,995 per month for this apartment, which they would have received last June. Instead, they are offering to rent this apartment at a below market average rent of $1,995 per month through 05/31/2026.

Berkeley is a rent-controlled jurisdiction. The law prevents us from simply lowering the rent in the off-season and then raising it back up when the market changes. So, instead, we have to provide our promotions in an unconventional way. Your terms will be as follows:

Monthly Rent Payment Schedule:

Month Rent Amount
FEB-2026 FREE RENT
MAR-2026 $3,990
APR-2026 FREE RENT
MAY-2026 $3,990
JUN-2026-MAY-2027$3,990

Lease Term: 02/01/2026– 05/31/2027

Option to Terminate:The lease may be terminated, without penalty, on 05/31/2026, by providing Owner/Agent with at least 90 days’ written notice.

Effective Rent: Total rent for the first four months is $7,980 (2/1/2026-5/31/2026)($3,990 x 2), which averages $1,995 per month.

Security Deposit: $3,990

Move-In Funds: $3,990 (Security Deposit Only as the First Month’s Rent is Free!)
