No, there is not any smell. I lived in the apartment unit for a year recently and the apartment is clean. I think it is the rental price.

The only feedback comments from prospective tenants I have heard from the property management company is: (1) the fact the apartment unit is a corner unit which makes it a security risk and (2) the stairs makes transporting furniture into the unit difficulty.

The door has a good lock on it though and the screen door in the bedroom works properly as well. As to the stairs, I was able to get my furniture in with a professional moving company without too much difficulty.

Hello!

I need advice on how to get a tenant quickly for an apartment unit in Mill Valley, California. The apartment is a 1 bedroom 1 bath unit located on 30 Central Court, Mill Valley, California. The property management group that is managing the property has told me that the apartment unit has gotten showings but only 1 applicant that fell through. The property has been on the market for a month and I am concerned that it may be several months at this rate before the property is leased.

The listing can be found here: https://www.progressivesf.com/...

The rent for the property is $2,627 a month. I have spoken with a real estate appraiser who used rent-o-meter and they confirmed with me that the price is appropriate based on comparing three other rental units in the Mill Valley, California area.

I am attaching below photos of the unit. The unit was recently remodeled and is in very good condition. There is also a pool and a parking space available and the surrounding area is quiet, safe, and has access to good schools and is closeby the Strawberry Village Shopping Center

Question

Do I need to lower the rent on the unit in order to get a tenant quickly? If so how much?
