James's room

Townhome built in ’21; I am looking for a responsible, respectful, professional-working roommate to occupy the second bedroom on the third floor of my downtown townhome - Available starting 07/01/23, the room is available for 950.00 and requires signing a 6 month sublease (lease extension is negotiable).

My home is furnished but the available bedroom is not furnished! Please expect to ONLY furnish the room you are renting (bed, bed frame, television, toiletries etc) - decor or furniture outside the room is not permitted. Please use and enjoy the shared areas: living room, kitchen, in unit laundry, patio, etc, but please… be a respectful, considerate tenant. If there is an issue with understanding how to respectfully use and properly clean things such as my dishes and glassware, or just cleaning up after yourself - I’m not sure this is the room for you. I’m more than happy to allow the use of my furnishings, dinnerware, appliances, so long as you treat them as anyone would their own (in other words: I have nice things. Don’t break my nice things.)

The larger of the two bedrooms is for rent and measures roughly 12ft. x 10ft. The room features a double sliding door closet running the width of the room (10ft x 2ft deep/plenty of space for an average wardrobe w/ plenty of excess storage space!) and best of all: your very own, full en-suite bath! Includes a Moen 6 setting, magnetic shower head (soft-water and incredible water pressure), soaking bathtub, vanity, cabinet storage and room for shelving if needed (… shower curtain/liner not provided).

The complex is secure, quiet with a mostly young professional-demographic (everyone else has a way nicer car than me 🤷🏻‍♂️) and the grounds and maintenance are well managed. Rent includes your own full size parking space in a private, attached garage on the ground floor (shared with me in a VW sedan). The garage has direct access to the unit so no walking to an from your vehicle in the dark/cold. Please note: the included parking space is NOT to be used for storage. either you park a car in the space or it stays empty: this is non negotiable. Affordable, long term storage is available within 2 miles if you need extra storage for belongings.

Utilities included. ISP: Google Fiber.

The following is required to move in: •employment verification (most recent two paystubs or proof of future employment and salary/hourly wage. •basic background check. •950.00 for your first months rent and 600.00 refundable deposit. •signing a legally binding sublease agreement for the term of 6 months.

I am a 40 yo graphic and textile designer (and moonlight as a bartender). I am home often and work from there during the day. My days off are greatly valued and spent cleaning, sleeping or relaxing. I am quiet and respectful of the comfort and peace of my tenant and require the same (no blaring televisions, don’t wanna hear your edm, and I don’t want to have to teach anyone basic manners and how to be considerate/show common courtesy lol)

Not into night life, I don’t drink often or a lot. Sorry but: absolutely NO DRUGS will be stored or used in my home at any time… if you wanna smoke at your friends, go to town. (Sorry Stoner Queens) Just don’t be obnoxiously-stoned or inebriated/disrespectful when you’re in my home and definitely be sure to pay your rent on time and in full before you show up buzzed/baked/belligerent on anything you might purchase to have fun. I love to travel and do so semi-regularly. I read a lot. Am a fanatical plant enthusiast. And I think I’m pretty fuckin funny. I mean, I can take a joke… imo?: I think I’m a damn delight to be around. I’m easy going, low maintenance, and as I mentioned before: a genuinely nice person. I do what I love professionally and I enjoy being at home in a lot of my down time and I’m looking for a roommate that I can peacefully and respectfully coexist with, someone who naturally will do what is right and responsible to make our home a positive and stress free sanctuary from the negative shit show that is the world we live in. … and if I can’t have that? than at the very least: someone who doesn’t interfere with my current lifestyle. 💅🏼

i am not looking for a lifelong friendship and sometimes just want to keep to myself. Im not a very social person by nature and on the rare occasions that my friends lure me out, I’m usually back home and in bed within a two hour window.. I mean, I’m Happy to have a beer with you and watch tv, but just not a fan of endless small talk every time we cross paths. Lol

…Oh Also!: I am gay. I am Single. I am not actively looking for dates/bf’s. I’m happy being single. ‘Friends coming by’ is not a regular occurrence and If I go out with friends, I will literally go out: I expect the same in a roommate (going out. Not ‘being gay’.) also, some basic ground rules regarding visitors: •no parties anywhere in the house or on the patio/driveway/lawns. Period. •please do not have more than 1 person over at any time. •do not have guests that stay an extended period of time/consecutive nights. A night or two over the period of a week is fine but don’t bring someone in my home with the intention of housing them long term without my knowledge or consent . Im a pretty understanding and nice guy, 😊however, I don’t tolerate or respond well to mind games, manipulation or blatant dishonesty. If a problem occurs I will always confront the situation quickly and discuss it with a tenant and try to resolve any conflict. If that isn’t possible or dangerous/destructive/deceptive behaviors persist, your sublease contract will be terminated and you will be evicted from the property.

I’m painting myself out to be a bit of a uptight asshole here but all I’m saying is: I’m a quiet, chill guy who loves his home, his stuff, and his privacy and I want a roommate who can be respectful and vibe well with me and my environment and make a concerted effort to avoid drama or tension and be upfront if something comes up.

Please… have the means to move in and pay your rent in full, on time, without having to be asked for your share of rent on its due date. I will not accept partial payments for monthly rent. If this sounds like a good fit, please feel free to contact with any questions or if you’d like to schedule a time to meet up for an informal interview and have a coffee/see the room.
