Nelson wasn’t able to get a work transfer this time around, so at least for now, I’ll be looking for a place with roommates until he can move, too. It’s harder to look for roommates when you don’t know anyone, than to look for apartments. My complaints from last time were mostly poorly spelled postings, like COMES WITH BALONEY.

I am looking for someone who is clean, easy-going, pays their rent on time, is respectful of the space and is sensitive to energy.

Sensitive to energy?

13 cats:

greetings and salutations. we are a multi-species family. there are 3 dogs, 13 cats, a bird and a degu. the animals are trained and a room mate would be asked to use the same training methods as are being used now. we are looking for a respectful room mate with some common sense. we are looking for someone who will not be adding drama to our lives. … we are a pot friendly home. PLEASE no other drugs or alcohol use. this is not a party house. there is no smoking in the house. damage deposit is required. references required. the room in the basement is more of a dungeon. it would be ideal for a night walker or an artist.

POOR CHOICE:

SAVING MONEY? A LIVING ROOM GOOD CHOICE
We are looking for a roommate (Male or Female) to live in the living room available on June 28th

There is also the usual crazy spelling:

Looking For A ResponcableTenant

The last category is postings that sound great, until they say they want you to hang out with them all the time. What if I just want to hang out by myself? What if I don’t really like them? How am I supposed to know?
