Hello,

I am looking to room with one or two individuals who are 25-35 years old, work a full-time job. Would also be open to someone who has more than one part time job or if they work and go to school. I have been living with people for 3-4 years now, and it's mostly worked out well. However, right now I am dealing with some very gross and disrespectful individuals.

That being said, I feel a little weird coming to the internet to find people to live with. But please understand that I'll need a couple of assurances.

One: Overnight guests are fine, always have been, always will be. But if your "guest" turns into your SO overnight and they start living in the same room as you, there will be a major problem. Anyone who plans on spending the night, please give me a heads up. No men staying more than a couple nights and NEVER WITHOUT YOU PRESENT.
Two: I need to know that I won't have to cover anyone's rent at any given time, so please be able to show me that you have a STABLE job and can pay your bills on time. I will not be paying anyone else's half of the utilities or rent. I can show proof of employment and for how long I've been there, I ask that you do the same.
Three: Pets I love and all I ask if that we come to an agreement (Specifically written and signed by both parties) on how many are allowed and that any new animals joining the house being DISCUSSED first, not after. My current roommate has multiple animals that don't get clean litter or bedding so it smells AWFUL, and she is nose blind to it all.
Four: All agreements will be in WRITING and signed by both parties to avoid future issues on what the agreed rules are. For example, no long-term male overnight stays, agreement on number of pets to be brought in, if any and shared cleaning of communal spaces like bathroom and kitchen.

I understand this is a lot to ask of anyone and A LOT of specifications. I work a lot and keep to myself more often than not. I try to stay quiet and respectful because I work second shift 2-11pm so I am mostly home during the day and out in the evenings. Before and after work, I like to relax or go for hikes or go out with friends for food or coffee.

If you made it through all that, I'm so sorry. But I am in a very unsafe situation currently and I'm trying to make sure I don't have a repeat of inviting terrible people into a space because I didn't know enough about them. I genuinely like living with people when we can help each other out, do our part to keep our house clean, and just give basic respect. I like the kind of relationship where someone can pick up a gallon of milk for the kitchen if we run out. I am willing to help pay for basic needs in the kitchen when it comes to food, but I mostly do food prep and eat out if I'm being honest.

I don't have many people who will come over, let alone stay the night. But I will always ask how others feel about someone staying the night, as I asked before and just for a general head up. I don't need to know everything, but if a stranger will be in the house late at night, it will be helpful to know in case we cross paths, and I do not recognize them. All this text probably makes me sound insane, but I promise you this is caution due to bad, ongoing experiences. Everyone should feel safe in their home.

Thank you for reading and please reach out if you have questions or concerns, I know this may come off as aggressive. Truley, it is not.
