Darrell's room

Master bedroom in 3 bedroom rental house. Quiet neighborhood street. Close to 405, I-5, and 167. Walking distance from The Landing. Parking for multiple vehicles. WiFi. Washer/dryer. Dishwasher. Shared and equal use of common spaces. Attic storage. Room can be left furnished if desired. Looking for someone to share the whole house with my son and I.

I’m 43. My son is 16. I won full custody a year before COVID lockdown. The last 3 years my son and I lived with my partner, who moved us into this little 3 bedroom rental house. Last month, she left. She had been supporting us, while I was battling the health care system to have accumulated medical issues addressed. It was too much for her. My son and I are in need of a room mate to help us keep the house. We have washer and dryer, decent parking, wifi, attic storage, on a quiet neighborhood street. The house is 2100/mo and utilities average another 800. We are looking for someone who can manage 1200/mo (including utilities) in exchange for the master bedroom, equal and open use of living room, kitchen and bathroom. I kind of prefer someone who wishes to coexist with us when they’re home, though someone who wishes to keep to themselves would be alright, too. Looking for a low-key individual.
I’ve been dry for almost a decade, so I’m not looking for a heavy partyer, but adult recreational activities don’t phase me. I don’t mind people drinking around me at all, as long as they don’t get obnoxious about it. The garage is the designated cannabis smoking place, though I am personally stepping back from that as well.
As long as my kiddo can do his homework, practice cello, get enough sleep, and feel comfortable in general, I’m extremely okay with a lot. We currently own 3 pet rats who’s cage is cleaned daily, so it’s not poopy smelly around here. Sadly, 2 of them don’t look like they’ll make it past Xmas, and my son and I haven’t really chosen replacement pets, but it probably won’t be rodents next time…they only live long enough to really get attached, and then they’re gone. Cats and dogs I have to clear with the landlord, but the yards are fenced, and my son and I are animal loving people. We aren’t in a fiscal position to do it, but we’ve actually wanted a dog this whole time.
