So, due to assorted circumstances, it looks like I’m going to need approximately two roommates starting in around September to keep rent costs down. Normally I’d be pretty hesitant to open it up like this, but I’ve already checked with everyone I know.
Relevant information: It’s a house in a suburb in wisconsin. Rent for three people is $280 per person per month, plus utilities. There’s stairs to get into the house, so you’d have to be able to navigate stairs regularly. There’s a total of three bedrooms, so each person would have a private room.
I’m an autistic, mentally ill trans girl, age 25, and I’m white. I do my best to be open and accepting of all identities. My Special Interests are games, especially game design, and snakes, so interest in those things would be a plus, though not necessarily required.
1. Must be able to pay rent. The entire point of this is to keep rent costs down, so while I wish the best to anyone who wouldn’t be able to, I unfortunately can’t offer a room right now to anyone who can’t keep up with rent. There are jobs available in the area, so we could conceivably negotiate something if you needed time to find income. This would be a long-term arrangement (at least a year).
2. Must be ok with snakes. You don’t have to love them, but I’m going to be getting one as a pet once I can, so you need to at least be ok with them being around and respect them.
3. Must be able to travel to the general area, at least. I have a car and can drive a short distance to pick someone up, but while I’d be happy to have someone from far off I don’t have the means to travel super far. We’ll work out the details as the time gets closer.
Most other things are fairly negotiable; I’m pretty laid-back and willing to work with people.
Anyone who’s interested should feel free to contact me, either through an ask or tumblr messenger; I’ll reply as soon as I get the opportunity. Also, sharing this post would be a major help.
Let’s see... @transhousingnetwork, maybe?
Thanks to everyone who helps with this.
