Shawn's room

Available for September 1st (or sooner, rent prorated depending on move-in date). The sooner the better but my priority is finding a compatible housemate.

Full-Time working male (60+ hours/week) seeking housemate to share 3 bedroom furnished* town house. Available for August 1st, August 15th, or September 1st. Earliest date preferred.

• New coffee/end tables are ordered, waiting on delivery. You will need your own bedroom furnishings but there is an available queen size bed in the spare room that could be used temporarily.

Female preferred (cats are anxious around other males and I’ve always had a positive experience with female housemates, previous tenants will provide a recommendation if required). Although it is a 3 bedroom town house I am only interested in ONE adult to share the house with. You will have full access to the entire house, this is not a room-for-rent. My current housemate is moving out only to be closer to her family/work and she will provide a personal reference if required. I am very clean and keep to myself. There are also 2 cats that live with me or I guess you could say that I live with them! Due to this, the ad is listed as pet friendly but one additional cat would be the absolute maximum.

Please note: I will not be accepting the first qualified applicant and will be very thorough and selective with my decision. I feel it is very important to find someone compatible when it comes to sharing a house. I am listing the rental amount at $630/month. This amount includes High Speed Internet (with Netflix!) and House Insurance (mandated by the landlord) but does NOT include Gas (Enbridge), Hydro (Ottawa Hydro), or Parking (if required). Hydro and Gas would be split 50/50 (estimates below). Outdoor parking is also available from the landlord (not me) at an additional rate of $45/month (it’s actually $44/month until December).

Rental Breakdown (Estimated Bills) Base Rent: $630 Enbridge Gas: $40-$70/month (split 50/50 = $20-$35 each) Ottawa Hydro: $40-$70/month (split 50/50 = $20-$35 each) • These amounts are estimates only and averages based off the previous year. This is to give you an annual estimate only. Some months may be much higher, some months may be much lower (heating in the winter, over all hot water usage, a/c units, laundry volume, etc). Your estimated monthly average would be in the $670 to $700/month range (+$45 if parking is required).

Only my name would be on the physical lease and utility bills but we would be signing both a Roomers and Boarders Agreement, along with a Roommate Agreement. I will provide signed receipts for rent and bills. I’m interested in a minimum of 1 year (longer preferred but not required) with month-to-month afterwards unless we agree to commit to another year. 60 days notice must be provided by either of us in order to terminate the tenancy agreement. Last month’s rent (not including bills) will be required upon signing the agreement and first month’s rent will be due upon move-in date (pro-rated daily if you move in mid-month).

House details; • 3 Bedroom • 2 Entrances • 1.5 Bath (1 Full large bathroom upstairs + 1 toilet/sink downstairs) • 90% furnished. • Fridge, Stove, Microwave, Washer/Dryer (new). • no dishwasher • no central air-conditioning. You can install a window unit in your bedroom and/or living room but it will affect our Ottawa Hydro bill total in the summer months. I will still be splitting the bill 50/50 as I do have a window unit in my room and would benefit from any additional a/c units. • Unfinished Basement. • close to pretty much every type of store, walking distance to Farmboy, Gas Station, and Bus • small playground in front of house • smokers welcomed but NOT in the house, ever.

Please message me here or email me for more details and to set up a viewing appointment.

My name is Shawn and I am employed VERY full time, 60+ hours a week! I am very clean, vegan (it’s okay if you are not), and eco-friendly.
