$1,200 · Room in Shared 2br/2bath Close to Downtown (Victoria)

Hello, there. My name is Alan, and I'm currently looking for a roommate to live in a 2bed/2bath apartment with me… Alan, I mentioned that earlier. Don't worry about it. I'm bad with names too, but I'll remember yours sooner or later if we vibe. Please read the following before responding. About the space: - Available on October 1st, 2024. - Utilities (heat, hydro, water) included. - High speed wireless internet included. - In-suite laundry, dish washer, convection oven + microwave provided. - Your own modest, unfurnished bedroom with closet (fits a queen size bed, but not much else, so better with a twin). - Your own bathroom (there are two in the unit, so you clean yours and I do mine). - Private balcony with propane BBQ. - Secure bike storage and underground parking spot, if needed. - Gas fireplace + baseboard heating. - Clean, quiet building with private wraparound grass courtyard. - Feline (meow) and 2SLGBTQI+ friendly. - 5 min. bike or bus ride to downtown. - 10 min. walk from Galloping Goose trail and Mayfair Shopping Centre. - No smoking or waterbeds in unit. - I've been here for a couple years now, so we are on month-to-month with the landlord (she's cool). - Sorry, no couples or kids, but guests are fine to visit with advanced notice. About me: - I'm a cis het white guy in his early forties. - As a music critic, I occasionally stay out late at concerts. - I often play music, but either at a reasonable volume or in my headphones. - As an avid recreational hockey player, I get home late and have gear drying out on the balcony a couple times a week. - I get meal kits delivered weekly, but I don't cook a whole lot otherwise. - I have a small cat named Toki. She got along fine with my last roommate's cat. She's super cute, but very busy. - Like to binge TV shows, movies, and sports (mostly hockey, baseball + football). About you: - What's your general job situation for the foreseeable future? - When would you would like to see the place? - How long would you like to stay here, ideally? - What are your hobbies or most hated bands or best loved books or whatever? What are you into? What I may need from you later, if you dig the place: - Personal references from work and/or landlord. - Proof of employment. - Damage deposit ($600).
