Home Sharing

Three People Living Together While Preserving Individual Privacy

Who I am

Hello, my name is Paul. I am a young man with my own home that I’d like to share with a couple, or two friends. It’s on four levels which is good because we each have a private level of our own. Housemates live on the top floor with 3 bedrooms, and a 4 piece bathroom. If you like working with your hands, there is a workshop/craft room downstairs.

I live on a separate level with my own bedroom, bathroom and living room.

My day starts with supporters who come in and make sure my socks match and that I’ve had a good breakfast. During the day my supporters help me pursue my interests – music, ATV’s, boats, bicycling, working out, swimming, bowling, fishing. I also have my own mobile interior car cleaning business. In the evening, I like to relax with my tablet, watch a movie or go for a walk on my own.

The House and Neighbourhood

All the spaces we share are sunny – the kitchen, living room and four-season sunroom. There is also a laundry room downstairs and the back door opens onto a quiet backyard with a gas BBQ. I love BBQ’d burgers!

It’s great to live in a neighbourhood where you feel safe and people know your name. This summer, a family at the end of the street invited everyone over for a BBQ; I water the plants for friends across the street; and last December I invited the neighbours to come over for some Christmas cheer. They brought ornaments for my tree!

In August, I biked to Music Fest with one of my housemates – we were able to use the bike trails the whole way down and back. And the trails of Jackson Park are right around the corner.

Living With Me

I don’t know about you, but I like a clean house. Vacuuming is my speciality and I also like cutting grass and doing dishes. It feels good to share chores and dinners with my housemates.

I’m not exactly sure what reciprocal means but I do know that living with me means you have something to offer and something to gain from the experience. For example, we take turns making dinner, so each of us cooks twice a week for everyone in the house.

The Arrangement

I’d like two friends to offer me between 9 – 14 hours of companionship a week, each: sharing evening meals, hanging out, and being here overnight. If you’re a couple, we can talk about your contribution. This is in exchange for reduced rent.

Rent $ 730 – $930 p.p., including heat, air conditioning, electricity, water, parking and outdoor storage. Move in date will be negotiated with my team.
