Health & Air Quality

Noise & Lifestyle

• The space is generally very quiet • Watching TV in the living room or playing music at a reasonable volume is perfectly fine • A great fit for someone who naturally gravitates toward a quieter lifestyle — no eggshells, just mutual consideration • Vaping in your room is permitted — an air filter is required while doing so; housemate has a spare one available if needed • No smoking indoors

Guests & Visitors

• Mutual heads-up is expected from both parties — this applies equally to both housemates • Periodic guests are more than welcome; daily visitors would be too much • Housemate personally rarely brings people home, but values the freedom to do so — and extends that same freedom to you • Living room is fully available for your use when you have guests • Overnight guests and frequency are open to respectful discussion and negotiation

Who This Is For

• Best suited for a mature renter 35+ — in that chapter of life where health, wellbeing, and a peaceful home matter as much as anything else • Younger renters who feel they’d be a great fit are welcome to reach out — the spirit of the household matters more than the number • A good match is someone who values independence, keeps shared spaces tidy, and appreciates a calm, healthy home environment • If you have a disability affecting mobility, don’t let the stairs discourage you from reaching out — happy to have a conversation

About Your Housemate

• Woman with many years of experience in social services — strong communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills. She is fun, a cup is half full type and enjoys witty humour.

• Thoughtful, warm, and respectful; gets along well with people in both personal and professional settings • Very quiet at home. A literal mouse most the time. She uses headphones, works at her desk, and games in her room with headphones on thoughtfully not to disturb others.
• Currently working from home during injury recovery; this is expected to change • Moving to be closer to aging parents; frequently out visiting family and engaged with hobby communities during the week • Happy with someone who values their independence, but equally enjoys a coffee (she makes a great americano) or a neighbourhood walk • Has training and hands-on experience in rescue CPR and defibrillator use.
• Manages a delicate condition, so the scent sensitivity is a genuine medical need, not a preference. Deodorant and personal products are usually find. Lysol room scent is not.

The Cats

• Three small Siamese cats who are super loving, playful snd active. They have made dog friends in the past. • Low-allergen, low-shed breed; roughly half the size of average cats • Beautifully socialized and very affectionate — one of them loves hugs • Three cats is the household maximum — no additional cats please • A dog may work, but must have a low prey drive and be comfortable around cats; housemate is more than happy to help with walks and had dogs most her life.
