There’s a rental application form the landlord requires all tenants to fill out, Very basic screening tool. they may or may not run a credit check, that’s completely up to them.
Hi there, I am looking to fill a room in my 2-bedroom apartment with a clean, tidy, respectful and responsible individual (no couples) Students preferred. The room is available for move-in Wednesday January 1st. I do 4/month terms based on the school year. Another term is possible but it all comes down to where my life is ATM, and if I think we get along enough to survive another term lol. Term extension can be discussed after two months.
Clean freaks are welcome, absolutely no slobs, if you’re someone who naturally keeps your bedroom neat and tidy on the regular, you’re likely the type of person who will fit in at my place.
The rooms furnished with the following: Desk, lamp, boss style leather chair, Duvet and pillows with covers. Queen size Kingsdown mattress with protector. Big closet with hangers and a hanging storage organizer. 5 x 8’ Area rug.
$1000/month All-Inclusive (heat, hydro, internet, toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex) first and last required. The bedroom is 10’6“x9’ and about 9’ high ceilings, Laminate flooring, north-facing window. Must supply your own fan or portable AC.
The address is 287 Clarence Street and is walking distance to just about everything. Walk Score 93 Transit Score 90 Bike Score 96. Market Life ¯_(ツ)_/¯
There will not be a lease, but instead, there will be a roommate agreement. The term goes by the school semesters. I will never use the agreement to keep someone around, if you want to leave before the end of the agreement all I ask is the standard 2 months’ notice. A landlord cannot live in the same unit as a tenant, which is why I have to use a roommate agreement instead of a lease.
The apartment is located on the second floor of a three-story building with three balconies (2 front and 1 back) and is approximately 950sqft. High ceiling throughout the apartment with hardwood, laminate, and tile flooring. You will have your own personal shower caddy, towel bar, drawer and counter space in the bathroom. Toilet has a bidet attachment (cold water only) and the Squatty Potty.
Rogers Internet Ignite 1.5gbps down - unlimited. strong signal throughout the unit.
Access and control to the Blink home self-monitoring security system. Blink cameras are located in the living room, dining room, front door hallway, Kitchen, and back door/balcony. The place was broken into back in 2016. Cameras armed by whoever leaves the apartment last. You can choose to live-view the place through the app on your phone if you wanted. This isn’t an option, it’s a requirement. You must have the app installed on your smartphone and remember to arm the cameras.
In unit Washer and dryer.
120“projector screen with Epson FHD 3D projector in the living room.
Karaoke jams a thing but it’s occasional and weekends only. Three TV’s in the dining room/Sports bar/Gym. Football Sundays a thing for me, I don’t have many friends who likes Football like I do. Very well equipped kitchen with quality cookware, utensils and I have a strong appliance game: 12qt & 6qt Slow Cookers (Crockpot), Instant pot (pressure cooker), Deep fryer, Air fryer, 10 cup rice cooker, Waffle maker, portable gas stove for hot pots, Drip coffee maker, Lavazza Blue Coffee/Espresso Machine, Keurig K Elite, Kettle.
Some directives:
Dishes always completely washed (handles, all sides of the dishes/pots/pans/utensils). I don’t care if you leave a pile of dishes to wash later on the counter, but dishes on the counter must be rinsed beforehand to avoid attracting any pests. makes sense?
No shoes inside. Slippers, socks or barefoot only.
There will never be urine stains on the toilet, on the squatty potty or the floor, always look and wiped down after. The place stays clean, I will never leave a mess for you and I expect the same common courtesy.
Always rinse the tub, walls and curtain thoroughly with the hand held showerhead after your shower so that the soap scum and grime does not buildup so quickly, helps prolong cleanliness.
With past roommates we take turns monthly with the general cleaning of the apartment; this includes dusting from the top down, spraying cleaners and wiping down, sweeping and mopping, scrubbing bathtub, walls, sinks, and toilet. Honestly, if you’re able to clean up after yourself, the bathroom would be the only thing you’ll need to take care of when the time comes, I can take care of all the general cleaning everywhere else when I feel it’s necessary.
We’ll also take turns monthly being responsible for gathering all the garbage to take out on garbage/recycling days and bringing bins back in. this is the only way so that one roommate will never resent the other for not pulling their weight.
The fridge is clean and aside from dust accumulation, there shouldn’t be anything else. Dirty containers always wiped down before placing back into the fridge, loose vegetable and or fruit goes into a container or bag, potential leakage from packaged meat? Meat tray it! or keep it in a bag. Never leave rotting food in the fridge.
This is a house that recycles and separates the composts so that the garbage doesn’t stink up the place.
Groceries are not shared, you are welcomed to use my spices, but that’s it. you’ll have access to my cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. access to all the TVs and the apps I have for live TV, Movies and shows to stream.
If all that makes sense to you we should get along just fine.
About the roomies
Now a little about myself: My name is Eddy, in my Mid 30’s, I work full-time at a division of Bell Media, non-smoker but Cannabis friendly (outdoors only), I don’t party at home very often, weekends if anything. I am more clean and tidy than other people you would know, I like to watch movies, sports (football Sundays a thing) and follow many TV series. I am a perfectionist (not OCD). I Lean towards Buddhism. If I am not watching anything I will usually be listening to music. There’s only 1% of Canadians who listens to more Spotify than I do.
Slight allergy to pets but it all depends on the dander, Landlords and I are not down with dogs anymore. Cats a possibility.
Fair warning: I hate drunks and dirty people, stay away if that’s you because we’ll just end up in a fist fight. I can’t be nice to someone I dislike.
If interested, please reply through this ad with a little about yourself, what you’re taking in school or what your line of work is, age, hobbies etc…
I am not just trying to find someone to pay half the rent, I am looking for someone who lives a similar lifestyle, someone who understands how to live well and clean. Not looking for a bestie, I like to do my own thing. Occasional gatherings one thing, but this is not a party house. must respect the other tenants in the building who are Students and working professionals.
Thanks Eddy
