THE VIBE

• Shared home with your own space too. It works well because it’s spread out over multiple floors and when we’re on different schedules we’ll often not run into each other at all (but we’re a friendly shared household when we do)
• Roommates are mixed gender 30-40 something professionals that are active and engaged. We work pretty hard during the week and prefer to leave the house when it’s time to let loose on the weekend.
• Cleanliness and tidiness is very important - Not leaving personal items around after you’re done using a common area, kitchen counters wiped after use and left sparkling for the next person, shared household responsibilities (recycling/compost, dishwasher unloading, dusting, sweeping, etc.)
• General flavour of the house is: music over TV, movies/shows over sports, friends pop by but gatherings are fairly rare, environmentally friendly product household, and DIY skills are always appreciated :)
• Cigarettes are a no-go, but 420 friendly

YOU

• Professional, mature student, or generally chill and active person with experience in shared living arrangements & ideally not WFH all of the time (just makes things easier that way)
• Conscientiousness - thoughtfulness about others sharing the space and treads with a relatively light impact (not slamming drawers or doors, speakerphone convos with others in the room, etc.)
• Proactive communicator, especially when there’s something bothering you, and not taking it personally when I tell you there’s something bothering me.
