This location will support SROs (Single Room Occupancy). These are basically sleeping rooms, and not much more than that. All of the rooms will have the same floor plan, and intended to make the most of the limited space provided to the tenant. SROs are not qualified for Section-8. Each unit will have a rent of $750, and there will be 30 units in this building.
Each SRO would have a ¾ bathroom, and pretty tight as well. There will be a toilet, sink, and a small shower stall big enough for one person. There will be a bath closet for storing hygiene items, and towels. Next to the bathroom’s door will be the intercom system. This will allow you to allow visitors to come in. Once you go down the hall (adjacent to the bathroom), you would be greeted with a single room. Up against the wall will be a dormitory refrigerator. Simply put, there is not enough space for a full size refrigerator, and there will be no stove.
Next to the refrigerator will be a sleeper sofa. The sofa will unfold into a bed that would take most of the width of the room’s space. Across from the sleeper sofa will be a 40″ television set to provide for OTA (Over The Air) antenna channels. The TV will not have as many jacks as the other units will. Next to the TV will be a corner desk to where the tenant can have a home base for his notebook PC. On the other side of the sleeper sofa, there will be a stand where one could place a printer on it. There will be shelf above the stand for using a wifi router that the tenant will be responsible for acquiring.
There will just be a coaxial jack behind the TV, and your standard electrical outlets. There will be no RJ45 jacks in the room – therefore leaving your router as the only device with RJ45. This is not ideal, but there is no way to provide for a communications closet. There will be only 1 RJ45 line, and that would be for the internet connection. The router will plug into the WAN jack, and share internet services for their room.
Rent will include electricity, internet, trash, and water/sewage. The tenant is responsible for telephone service, and there will be no option for premium television beyond IPTV services such as Sling TV. Rent will be $750/month.
