Housemate search

[EDIT: Yes, this is public on purpose, so that you can share it should you feel so inclined.]

I have not been very active about pursuing this, but mirrored_echo and I are still looking for a third housemate for our apartment near Davis Sq. Lots of space, light. We're within a 6 minute walk to the T and maybe 10 minutes to Tufts. Dishwasher (portable), laundry in unit.

Per-person, rent is $1000 / month (market rate, given the location) and utilities average $100 / month (with high seasonal variance). We are willing to negotiate about that a little given that I really, really don't want to have to move come September. Room is available now. We are looking for someone who will be a long-term housemate and stick around for the next year. (mirrored_echo is unlikely to stick around, so I will probably need someone else in September, too.)

We have no pets (although I have a whole lot of houseplants), but a cat is explicitly allowed by the lease and we like animals.

How broadly do you want this distributed? I know of people who have found roommates by sending a housing ad to copperbadge to post in his news roundups. Also there's always craigslist.

I have no idea who that is. But this is public on purpose, so you may use your judgment. :)

He's a fanfic writer (I know of him through Harry Potter fandom circa ten years ago) who also does a weekly roundup called Radio Free Monday, highlighting things people in fandom can do to help each other out: fundraisers, charity auctions, housemate searches, job hunts, news-you-can-use, etc. Here's an example.

That looks promising -- go for it!

I have done so! I described the current tenants as "fandom-friendly, LGBT-friendly loveable introverted nerds." If that sounds inaccurate or insulting to you or mirrored_echo you should let me know before Sunday, so I can correct it.

Yes!

That is some healthy looking oxalis!

Thank you! I am very pleased with it. :)

These might be folks you'd like to talk to, if their requirements aren't too skew from yours?

(Or is your housemate situation all sorted out?)

I am actually looking for me and my cat.
