Things to consider: -No dishwasher (so if hand-washing isn’t you’re thing, don’t bother applying) -The 10 and 14 bus goes to Union Bay but it’s recommended to have a car -I go into Courtenay 2 or 3 times a week so I can sometimes give you a drive, but don’t rely on me for rides -My cat WILL hang out with you (she is a sweetheart, but a little grumpy and talkative) -You can smoke/vape outside if you want (I don’t personally) -If you have a pet that lives in an enclosure (tank/cage/terrarium) that’s fine, but if you have a cat it needs to be very chill, because mine is generally not a fan of other cats, but if you have a peaceful cat she should be fine with it(after a few hisses) -No dogs(It will stress my cat too much)
- Idon’t care if you have a job or if you are on disability, as long as you have the income to pay rent. -Just to be clear, the bathroom, kitchen, living room, yard, and garden are shared spaces
What I’m looking for with roommate(s) -Openmindedness and progressive ideologies -Help me keep the house reasonably tidy, and help with occasional yard work. -Honest and clear communication -Respectful of boundaries
-Things I won’t tolerate in my home: -Aggression towards others in the home, yourself, or the home itself(don’t smash stuff) -Hard drug use / alcoholism -Theft -Abusive behaviour
If this all sounds like what you are looking for and that you would be a good fit, send me a message if you have further questions or would like to arrange a viewing.
( The painted dresser and the futon couch-bed that are in the bedroom photo are $100 each if you want them included ) I will be getting rid of some furniture and freeing up storage space before move-in
About the roomies
About me(your potential roommate): I’m 35 years old, neurodivergent, nonbinary, and have lived communally or with roommates for 10 years. I have a passion for permaculture and do film/photography work. I sometimes share meals and baked goods if you want some. I’m into all kinds of games, boardgames, card games(MTG), D&D, videogames, so if you want to do some of that with me that’s cool, but not a requirement. I also know a few cool nature spots in Union bay if you’d like a little tour. I’m a very peaceful and reasonable person. My past roommates can vouch for my character if you’d like to talk with them.
