Dan's room

Hi there! We have an unfurnished room available in a shared apartment in the High Park North area, a couple minutes walk to the subway station, and right near the park itself. The building is a triplex on a fairly quiet, residential street. It’s a bit of an older building, but the apartment is fairly spacious.

In addition to the private 10’X13.5’ bedroom, there is a shared kitchen, bathroom, and living room. Our unit is on the top floor of a walk-up building, and it is accessible via the front and rear stairwells. There is a laundry room in the basement with coin-operated machines. As far as parking goes, it may be possible to rent a space on-site at an additional cost, but I will have to discuss that matter with the landlord first.

Rent is currently $729.47 a month per person, plus internet and hydro (which varies slightly from month to month, depending on usage). In total, the average is usually around $770 a month, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. The landlord will likely raise the rent a bit when she can, but I would of course keep all roommates up to date on such matters.

We are currently looking for a new roommate to join us for May 1st.

I am a man in my 30s, currently working downtown in a public sector position. My roommate is a woman in her 20s who is studying at Humber College. We are easygoing, down-to-earth people, and are hoping to find a roommate who shares those qualities.

Neither of us smoke, so we would prefer our new roommate to also be a non-smoker. If you do periodically smoke, then we would ask that you do so outside of the building only.

We have no objection to occasional alcohol use or (Covid-safe) socializing; however, if you are a hard-drinking, hard-partying sort of person, then you will probably not be the best fit for this apartment.

We do not have pets, and we ask that you don’t either, unless it’s something that resides in a cage or aquarium.

We consider the apartment to be a safe and inclusive space. We are taking the pandemic seriously; we are both vaxxed and boosted, and we expect the same of our new roommate (and yes, I will be asking for proof).

We would love it if our new roommate was open to occasionally being sociable with us, but we would also understand if you’d prefer to keep more to yourself. If you have any questions about us or the apartment, please do not hesitate to send a message and ask.
