Renting a house?

Question

I'm going to rent a house. I'm looking at a newspaper and I don't know what some of the abbreviations mean. Can someone help me?

1st ad) 2 BR 1 BA, Fenced Back Yard, Stack W/D Conn.
2nd ad) 2/1/1 Stucco House, CH/A

Answer 1

1st Ad
Is a two bedroom, one bath, fenced back yard, stacked washer and dryer connections (to hook-up your washer and dryer if they are stacked on each other).

2nd Ad
Is a two bedroom, one bath, 1 car garage house built of stucco (stucco is a material made of an aggregate, a binder, and water which is applied wet, and hardens when it dries)

I would find out what other renters are paying to rent similar properties. Depending on how slow the rental market is, negotiate with the landlord to get a better deal. Good luck house hunting!

Answer 2

Br - bedroom
BA - Bath
stack W/D - stacked (vetical) washer/dryer connection ( no appliance)
2/1/1 - 2 bedroom 1 bath 1 half bath
CH/A central heat/air

Answer 3

2nd ad: Two bedroom, one bath, one car garage. Central heat and air conditioning.

When you see a series of 3 numbers, it's bedrooms, bathrooms, and garage spaces. Half baths are .5. So a 3/2.5/2 would be 3 bedrooms, 2 + 1/2 bath, 2 car garage.

Answer 4

Two bedroom, one bath, fenced back yard, stack washer and dryer connections (the ones with the dryer on top of the washer)

The other one, I have no idea.

Answer 5

FIRST 2 BEDROOM 1 BATHROOM THE WASHER AND DRYER ARE IN AN AREA WHERE THEY SIT ON TOP OF THE OTHER.

SECOUND 2 BEDROOM 1 BATHROOM THE CH/A I WOULD CALL AND ASK.

Answer 6

BR= bedroom
BA=bathroom
W/D= washer dryer
Conn.=connection
CH/A=central heat/air conditioning

I'm in the process of looking too so I know it can all be very confusing.
