I guess you might want to know a bit about me, seeing I think some might see me as an impossible-to-live with troll. I am a 50-something male who has been married, is no longer, and who is building a modest, if boring life for myself. I am educated and well-read, but I know book smarts are only a small part of the game. I am an adult Catholic convert, and not yet a saint. I am conservative in my inclination, so if you are a fan of diversity, inclusion, and equity politics we are not going to mesh. I have had mixed luck with roommates, so I am going to be straight forward in the things I cannot tolerate. I cannot abide by smoke or vaping. I hate the smell of cannabis, and do not want it in my home. Period. I have a couple of food smells that really irk me. Sardines and other pungent fish linger for some time and are icky. Sauerkraut and kimchee are not welcome, so if you need to eat them, it’s best you eat that cuisine elsewhere. Curry while enjoyable, is not likeable enough for me to want to live in a home that reeks of it all the time like a cheap curry joint in Manchester, England. So if you eat a lot of curry, this ain’t the right place for you. I am a big believer in temperance. If a typical night for you is to put down six cans of beer, a few shots, or a couple of bottles of wine, look elsewhere for a place to live. If you like to get wrecked on the weekends or get stoned stupid, keep looking chum. I’ve lived with alcoholics in the past and I’ve decided to draw a line. Hygiene is important, and while I haven’t had roommate problems with someone who did not bathe or use deodorant regularly, I have met enough people for whom it is optional. When it comes to cologne, know when enough is enough. It shouldn’t be strong enough to cause my nose to burn. Another thing I have found is that most of my previous roommates are worse housekeepers than I, and I absolutely suck at this. I am expecting you will occasionally vacuum, dust, take out the trash and clean the bathroom. A few dishes in the sink or drain do not irk me, unless it is habitual to leave your supper dishes and not clean the kitchen. I expect you will contribute by occasionally buying dish soap and toilet paper. If you want a cleaning service, I will arrange it and add it to the rent. I am looking for someone who is an adult, not someone who describes themselves as “grown-ass.” This room is for one person, not a couple, not two people looking to keep costs down. You will be sharing the apartment with me alone. There are no other roommates. The agreement is month-to-month, no lease to sign. I am asking $1450 per month, less than half the average rent of a two bedroom in Toronto. First and last month rent paid in full required before you move in. I do not care about proof of income, nor credit rating, but I will want a reference from a previous landlord. I will call to check. This is the important part at the end that I wanted you to read through to. I will ask you to please include a brief introduction with a name and time when you’d like to view the apartment; if all you can’t do that or send a one-liner like “Is the apartment still available?” I will ignore you. If you feel the need to tell me you think I am acting like a gestapo prison warden, or I am an impossible SOB, save your time, don’t bother to tell me, because you will only annoy me and provoke a reply you probably do not want.
