(Re: Motel-Apartment #265 at the Kamloops Desert Inn/Location: The Desert Inn~Unit #265-755 West Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC, V2C 1K8.)
Hello! How are you today? My name’s Renee Taylor & I’m 64. I don’t have a phone. I don’t drive.
In ‘24, an “Initial Site Plan” was done at the Desert Inn & nearby Kamloops Star Lodge. I don’t know what that means. Likely constructed in the ‘60’s or ‘70’s, the Motels are owned by the same Company, located at Kamloops’ “Sahali-” area & within walking distance of Thompson Rivers University.
If you’re interested in becoming my Roommate, could you please contact the Motel-Owners (or me, by email) as soon as possible?
I don’t have a formal Lease-document for staying here, pay a $1500/month rent-cost (utils incl) & obtain a Motel-Room Receipt & Till-Tape when I pay. If I had a Roommate, we’d each pay $750/month (utils incl,) obtaining some kind of written confirmation from 1 another. The Motel-Apartment needs cleaning & small upgrades done, something I’m trying to accomplish. I can’t stay at the Motel indefinitely b/c the rent’s too expensive.
Questions for my Co-renters:
What are your skills, education & experience?
Do you support the Separation of Church & State?
Have you done a Psych Eval? Do you have a CR?
Are you vaxxed? Not using a substance?
Can you help run a productive home?
What’s your 5-Year Plan?
(If you plan to be busy w/productive activities that have goals, I don’t mind if what you do while we’re under the same roof isn’t strenuous. But I’ll expect you to be trying to become self-sufficient, or to get back on your feet to where you were before the onset of a prob, while seeking your next housing opportunity. Say you’re facing homelessness & need housing, you’re looking for a certain kind of housing & need a place to stay in the meantime, you’re recuperating from a health-prob before going back to doing your usual, greater tasks, you’ve had a set-back (imposed by some1 else?) & were forced to give up a homefront, or you’re solvent & want to live w/me while working, going to school, volunteering or seeking gainful things to do (while seeking your next housing opportunity.))
We’ll have a Fixed-Term, amended Lease in which is stipulated a time-period (≤(2 years?)) & Move Out-Date, & which allows for the unexpected & for options to extend/renew/repeat & makes us live up to the Charter/Criminal Code, the Motel-Owners’ preferred certified rent payment-method, productive activity (ie, we do household chores & engage in other constructive pathways) & (A. House-Rules.)
In my opinion, disadvantages at Motel-Apartment #265 include:
-Noise from Columbia Street;
-Meagre Soundproofing: Please exert that you reduce-to-zero any noise you make on the Floor, in particular: According to (a) neighbor(s) in the Unit underneath this one, it seems that noise, made in my Unit, is loud;
-Obsolete Fire Safety-features that incl a Smoke Detector that seems to go off for no reason: In ’25, it passed a Fire Safety-Check & I change its 9V Battery ≈ 1x/2 months;
-No Surveillance-Technology;
-Ongoing Gaslighting- or Harassment-Behavior (CCC: Article 264. (1)) w/Building Associates, something for which I’ve no proof. My impression is that, generally & on any given day, I don’t start things (?) But you should talk to everyone concerned, b/c I’ve certainly criticized, bickered & quarrelled audibly (as an attempt to stop the behavior?) Who could work the best w/the nearby neighbors might be some1 who’s socially aggressive & somewhat conscience-impaired. Despite what might be certain behaviors they have, my neighbors seem to know about being seen in a good light & are more than capable of being nice. I’m not always at my best behavior, myself;
-(Sugar-) Ant- & Spider-Infestation: I haven’t seen bedbugs, cockroaches or rodents (which I consider worse than ants or spiders.) My most recent tactic, which so far seems to have had mixed success, was to create “Ground-Coffee Ant Repeller-Stations” w/Paper Cups. ((Sugar-) Ants don’t like coffee-smell: True?) I don’t know where the (Sugar-) Ants keep coming from!
But I think advantages at #265 include:
-The Motel-Apartment is warm & dry;
-The other Guests tend to be extremely quiet, considerate & friendly, especially when you meet them outside :)
-The Motel-Apartment has a lot of natural light, & the Floors, all Hard-Surfaces, are easy to clean;
-The Managers let me fix things, are easy to work with, are good at fixing things & appear to be talented Gardeners, who’ve permitted me to enjoy Produce from small Gardens they tend (located near the Motel-Office.)
(You might want to volunteer (eg, to water the veggies or do some weeding) during the summertime when Mr. & Mrs. Basi may want some down-time. You might find that your efforts pay off handsomely (eg, you could obtain some healthy Produce!))
Examples of who I’d do (eg, FT, LT, temporary, occasional) Leases with include educated, basically decent, vaxxed & Non-Smoking Roommates, Billets, Evacuees & Refugees. For ST visits I could accommodate a small number of well-behaved Family-Members, & in cases of emergencies, extra bodies could be accommodated. I can foster small animals.
You may bring a small number of pets (small animals.) I don’t know for certain if pets are allowed, but there have appeared well-behaved cats & dogs at the property.
A strong ego & being helpful & tidy are desirable. If you can cooperate w/others, no matter who (or you want to practice,) then please consider yourself welcome. Who I won’t work with are ppl 18+ who have serious, unresolved psychological-probs, or who may still have them b/c they didn’t try resolving them.
Would you like to contemplate this lead? If so, please keep the following in mind:
-I’ll likely take measures to protect myself, such as taking pictures of you & your ID, DL, vehicle’s License Plate, Criminal Background Check, & Psychological Evaluation (or a credible attestation (“affidavit?”) that you’re of good character & of what you plan to do while you live as my Roommate.) You’ll do something similar;
-It’s an asset (but not mandatory) if you’ve been content to prepare food simply by heating it up on a Stove-Element or by adding hot water to it. (As much as possible, I’d like to keep the Motel-Apartment & its Appliances clean & free of (eg, food-spills/stains;))
-The Unit has: 1 Bedroom (w/a Door that has Locking-Hardware,) 1 Bathroom (w/Shower & Bathtub) that we’d share, 1 Open-Area w/a combined Kitchen/Living-Room & a Sundeck that, to me, seems to have been built with compromised structural soundness & might be unsafe 4 people to be on;
-The Motel-Apartment might be somewhat full of my belongings;
-If you want the Bedroom, I’ll sleep in the Open-Area: Could you please bring your own Bed-Furniture?
-It seems it’s possible for more than 1 person at a time, while inside the Motel-Apartment, to use the complimentary Wi Fi-service;
-There are coin-operated Laundry-Appliances at the Star Lodge (or you could do your Laundry & Dry-Cleaning (more expensively) at a “McCleaners-” outlet on Summit Drive.)

Hi:
There’s only me :)
I’m able-bodied & a loner, Atheist, University Grad, (Political Rights-) Activist/Whistleblower, Reader & film-buff & see myself as vulnerable, which may have to do with my values, gleaned mostly from Literature, including Science Fiction & Adult Fantasy. I’m an “Intellectual Snob” & Hardline Feminist.
The first time I heard about “stigma,” I was surprised. I thought sex was just part of the body & something I could discuss freely.
Could you please be sure to review both of my Descriptions? The one that describes me is long & entails subject-matter you may find distressing, but it’s best you make an informed decision about me before a start to what would be an important relationship.
(B/c I don’t have a phone or texting-device, could you please contact me online at:
“roomies.ca?”
If I receive your contact there, I can give you my email-address.)
Thank you!
