THE RED HOUSE
SEEKS A ROOMMATE FOR JUNE 1ST
We are a communal house in Strathcona. We are four lovely people and one cat. We aren't accepting any more animals due to allergies. We are queer/trans positive. We have irregularly scheduled house meetings where all decisions are made by consensus. We buy all of our food together, and each take one night a week for cooking. Our dinners and groceries are both vegetarian. We buy both organic and conventional food. There is occasionally meat in the house. There is a house fund at $10 per month for buying us awesome things, or paying for unexpectedly large bills. We have a chore wheel, one weekly and one monthly. We're a pretty calm house most of the time, although we like to host slow-dance parties and games nights. We have wireless internet. We aren't very accessible because the house has a lot of stairs just to get to the front door.
The room is tiny but cute with a big south facing window and a nice view of the garden. There are hardwood floors and a loft which makes use of the small space. It would be perfect for someone who lives simply and hasn't got a lot of stuff or someone who possibly wants to downsize. There is no closet in the room, and there is very limited storage within the rest of the shared space.
We are looking for someone who has interest in communal living. Some shared activities that some of us have been working on lately include: working in the garden, making suarkraut and kombucha/kocha-kinoko, baking pies and cupcakes, hula hooping, talks and walks, all those little extra things that make a house a home. We're looking for someone with clear communication skills as we've found this to be essential in maintaining a functional shared living space. We're looking for someone who is able to express their own concerns in a thoughtful way, and able to own up to the mistakes they might make. Experience in communal living would be great, but enthusiasm in communal living will make up for lack of experience!
Room size:
just over 9x7ft (with loft bed)
Rent: $220
Food and other house purchases: around $135-$200
Gas: $20
Hydro: $10
Phone/Internet:
$17
Long Distance: $2-7
House Fund: $10
With $220 rent it adds up to
$419-489 per month for everything. (Costs do fluctuate from month to month)
email: rubyred@resist.ca and nat@resist.ca
As well, we are looking for a sublet for the month of June for our fabulous attic suite! $200 but shared food and bills!
