My lease here in Puerto Plata will be up by the end of February or optionally the end of August 2008. The current landlord wishes to sell and I am also outgrowing this home, so we bilaterally decided not to extend this lease beyond the dates set above.
So, I am already shopping around for a long term lease (1 to 2 year minimum) from either March 1st or September 1st, 2008.
- I need room (min. 4 to 5 bed rooms / 3 bath or larger).
- I need safety (secure doors and windows, preferably with bars) in a reasonably safe neighborhood (I don't have an issue with local neighbors however).
- Reliable electricity and water as well the guaranteed possibility of private phone land line and internet (which I will contract to my name.)
- Location: Preferably Puerto Plata city or East side. Alternatively I will also entertain the possibility of moving to some of the sea side developments in between Sosua and Cabarete (but NOT Sosua in town). I currently live nearby the Estern third Malecon of Puerto Plata, location which I enjoy very much because, all whilst I enjoy living amongst Dominicans, I am in a safe environment and can get my daily jogging exercises on along the Malecon and enjoy the beach. I will prefer a location which allows me to pursue a similar lifestyle.
- Property may be furnished or not.
I am Swiss, 42 years old, a professional in urban development and construction. I speak fluently Spanish, English, German and French. I am no stranger to the Latin American culture(s) as I lived and worked in Ecuador, Southern Florida and Spain before moving here. I can keep a home up properly and do many repairs as needed during the term of the lease myself and/or oversee repairs and maintenance work done by contractors (if that is the wish of the landlord).
I have an impeccable and documented payment record with my current landlord and also all the services like water, electricity, phone, cable and so forth. I am also known by some "Senior"-dr1's in the region.
Please keep in mind that while I am financially secure, I LIVE here and generate my income HERE. I am NOT a tourist and will not entertain offers based on fantasy and/or tourist rates.
