Jasper-Rena Avenue

Looking for a responsible and respectful housemate, preferably long-term with a 6 months trial. It has to be someone who enjoys living with others, is able to communicate openly and positively, and cares about our community and our planet. This is NOT just a room for rent, it is a shared space with a fully furnished bedroom for you. The room includes a queen size bed, a good desk and a lot of storage space. The house has a heat pump and high-speed fiber internet (in case you are working from home, it is perfect!). It would be a good place also for a retired person, a couple or anybody else as long as we share the basic same values. The shared space includes kitchen, laundry, living rooms, back porch, front patio and a 1-acre yard/orchard/vegetable garden, plus lots of storage space. All of that will be shared by 2 people including you, plus occasionally my son who comes for a visit during the weekend and holidays. I also have an 11-year-old dog. You would be welcome to have visitors (even occasionally overnight). Parties or board games evenings are fine but no excess of alcohol. There is a piano in the living room. No smoking. There is a place in the carport for your car (as well as charge point if you have an electric car). More space is also available to store a camper trailer or RV on the 1-acre property (for extra money). And space for your bike/kayak/canoe or storage place in the garage. There are buses going to Nanaimo: #78 from our street, #70 with a bus stop at about 2km (it travels from Nanaimo to Duncan) References, and damage deposit required. The room will stay vacant until a suitable person is found. My preference is to find somebody who is interested in moving in in September. I am more interested in finding a great fit than finding someone right away.

I am vegetarian and I care a lot for the environment. I’d prefer vegetarian roomies. My 19 year old son comes home very rarely during the weekends and holidays. He is studying at university now. I like gardening and outdoor activities. I also practice mindfulness meditation. I enjoy living with others.
