I'm a <career> looking for a move-in date of <early|mid|late> <month> and am interested in checking out the rental unit. If that sounds good to you, I'm ready to move forward with the process.



Is there a good time for me to see the place in person? If so, what's the address?



I live in the area with a flexible work schedule so anytime works for me, but weekends and after <time> on weekdays is preferable.
