Hey everyone. This is briefly my story. I’m a straightforward individual so here’s the gist. I’m escaping a very toxic situation & have been told I have less than a year to find a place or asap. I have been financially abUsed my whole life, am in debt because of it, I work as much as I can (been looking for a second job) but with the cost of living having gone up drastically and being in debt I barely have any money left over after paying owing debt money. Ideally, paying $100 or less for rent each month would be perfect and feasible because I don’t have that much money to dish out, but my range is $100-$300 roughly per month. Maybe we could negotiate rent? I can clean or help with a task, walk your doggo or something within reason and safety limits? *I’m looking for the Charleswood area since I don’t have a car (can’t afford one) and have to cab all the time, the closer to work the better. I’m also looking to stay a few yrs at least, as I don’t know what the future holds. I’m NOT looking for someone to accept me as a roommate and then a month or year later say get the blank out now, you move out or whatever because then I’d be unprepared, furious, devastated and homeless. I’m trying to defeat that whole situation. *I’m open to moving in to someone’s place and renting a room or possibly moving in to a place with other people (potential roommates) looking to live together and split rent. I’m trying to figure out this whole moving stuff on my own and to say I feel utterly hopeless and scared I’m going to be homeless is an understatement. I don’t have anyone in my life who’d take me in, they’re all fake. Forget the fact I helped them in their time of need. While I’ve never lived alone before, I’m exploring roommate options. I’m going to throw it out there, maybe I’ll be successful. I’m straight, intelligent, respectful, clean & tidy, christian, spiritual, a bit of a germaphobe xD, have alternative style, night owl, like cooking, keep to myself, quiet, straightedge (don’t smoke pot, do drugs, drink or sleep around), mature, responsible. *Now, I’m serious when I say this, this is what I’m NOT looking for in a place to stay/roommates: I am NOT comfortable with/okay with being around anyone who smokes pot, does edibles, shrooms, drugs of ANY sort or sells anything, also NOT okay if you would just do all this stuff outside of our place and then came home- it’s still a major NO. NOT okay with an alcoholic, bringing rando’s home, if you’re a ho/being loud & disrespectful having ‘fun’ you know what I mean, partier, loud screaming gamer, disrespectful, a criminal, a psycho, a thief, liar, would agree to terms/conditions of living together to my face & sign off on a contract/paper and then go against it, someone who’d tamper with my food/stuff, someone creepy, someone who has HIV/HEP/STDs, bad hygiene, someone who would have a problem with me doing laundry/cooking at random times (could be early or late like 10pm when I’m off work or when I sleep in late on my day (s) off- the times vary)/showering w/e time/staying up really late. It’s weird and uncomfortable for me having to type this kind of stuff out but this is part of the process of potentially living with someone. My background is filled with trauma and abUse and I REFUSE to be controlled, attacked and WILL NOT be re-living that cycle again. So if you think honestly there’s a slight chance that you’d get annoyed with how I live, what I believe etc. then please don’t msg me. Like I said, I’m a quiet, respectful person if you are. But if you aren’t and you’re what I’m running away from- it will not work. I really do wish I could afford my own place but it is what it is. I can definitely be sociable but trust is earned especially in this day & age. I’m not looking for any judgements or arguments. I’d rather say all this now than make a mistake moving in and we’d hate each other. If you think we’d get along, please send me a message and let me know your terms/conditions, what rent would cost, could we negotiate, what area of the city you live in, if you’d be willing/okay with driving me somewhere I needed to go/pick me up from work or something if I gave you gas money- not a demand just an enquiry because some people are nice like that and understand hardships. Thank you, look forward to hearing with you!
