The roommate would be added to my existing lease and as such would have to pass the apartment complex’s policies on that which include background/credit checks.

I am a married 48-year-old Male. Due to family situations, my wife and step-son returned to their home country of Russia, at least for the next year, maybe two. While they remain on the lease, in case the situation there changes, I do not foresee them moving back for at least a year. While my family is gone, I would like to have a roommate for the master bedroom to save some extra money and a bit of company. I am an IT professional who moved to the area, from the Washington, DC area, only last year and as such do not have many acquaintances outside of work. I’m home most of the time as I work from home most days. I’m quite, clean and organized. English is my native language, but I also speak some Russian. I like photography, craft beers and watching movies and TV shows.

I do not smoke (it is non-smoking community anyway), I don’t do drugs or have pets. I am not opposed to pets, I had dogs in my family when I was growing up and I like and have been around cats too. But any pets that come would have to conform to the apartment complex’s policies on breeds and any additional fees due to the pets would be incurred by the roommate. Utilities, I would want the roommate to contribute to utilities but is negotiable either a flat monthly fee or % could be worked out.
