We seek a female to rent this room, starting September 1. This ad is for students who must visit soon, due to their travel or work related moves that happen soon after their college term ends. If you are able to visit later in spring or in early summer, then I suggest you wait until then. I am not rushed to rent it. The roommates are mostly quiet young women: many are students, some work part time, most are rarely home. The Craigslist ad: Please provide the following: * State as exactly as you can, how long you will rent- try to give a specific move out date instead of a vague estimate. If you don’t know, then give a range of move out dates: the earliest & latest possible. * Because you would live here, you should show yourself- so paste the url of your Facebook profile- & if not your Facebook, then some similar internet presence or emailed content. * Some basic personal details including your age & last name should be included IF they are not available in your Facebook. * If you live far away, give the date you next visit Toronto to check out rentals. * If you are moving to Toronto from a very distant location, give your arrival date. You must visit in person before any rental agreement- Skype will not substitute. First & last is required: a $480 deposit (rent + internet) reserves the room until September 1. The deposit is eventually used as the last month of tenancy rent. September’s rent is due September 1. No dogs or cats are present and they are not allowed. No smoking in common areas. It is the 2nd floor front room of a 2nd & 3rd floor apartment in a semidetached townhouse on Kensington Ave in renowned Kensington Market near Spadina/Dundas, downtown Toronto (west). The location is central to colleges, transit (2 major streetcar lines), shopping & social venues. It is a bright medium sized room, 9x16'. The west wall is almost all windows. Winter afternoons are bright & in summer the leaves from a nearby tree provide shade. There are 2 shared bathrooms, with tub & shower stall. Down the hall is the main bathroom & next to that the large main kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped & contains a lounge area & satellite TV. A dining table & chairs are available if preferred. The internet is 45 mbps, shared, & will stay completely included in the rent if the 350 gb cap is not exceeded. Rent also includes heat (forced air) & electricity, & optional furnishings (not exactly as shown in photos). There is limited yard space & storage. City street permit parking is available. There is no living room but the lounge area in the kitchen compensates. No laundry but a Laundromat is a 3 minute walk away. The house is not new, has cosmetic flaws throughout, but is overall safe & sound. Essential maintenance is usually done quickly- other renovations & upgrades are done fairly often. The house has no history of bedbugs- this & any other claim I make can be backed up by past & current tenants.
