Ottawa: looking for a room to rent
Feb. 25th, 2014 11:49 amPutting this out there in case anyone on my flist can help:
I need a room to live in Ottawa that's within walking distance of my job at 1200 Vanier Parkway, Ottawa. So anywhere near Vanier Parkway/Coventry/Riverside Drive would be ideal. It doesn't have to be a short walk, either, I am actually a pretty good walker and don't mind longer distances.
I'm in town typically about half the days of the month, including two weekends. 60% of my shifts are night shifts, and as I work 12-hour shifts, I can safely say you'd barely notice my presence even during day shifts.
My current budget is in the $400 range. I can probably manage a little more if necessary, but I'm trying not to bust that ceiling, and in fact less than that would be awesome.
I am also willing to do extra work around the house in exchange for lower rent. Cleaning, cooking, shovelling snow, yard work (within my capacity!) whatever, on the days I am in town. Or, you know, a special long-term project, like that garage you've been meaning to clear out forever, am I right? ;) I am a pretty good cook and am very good at cooking in bulk for later freezing, for what it's worth. I am, however, a little useless at DIY home repair things that are more complicated than changing light bulbs and hanging curtains. If your problem needs more than a hammer and a screwdriver, I'm not your gal.
Anyway, I have to give my current landlord 30 days' notice, so barring miracles I'd be able to move in come April. I can provide my own bed/desk/whatever, if that's an issue.
Anyone looking for a quiet-yet-useful roommate?
