Hi Everyone. I’m new to Reddit and this is my first time posting. A friend of mine (who’s a long time Reddit user) suggested I try looking here for help. He believes the Reddit community is naturally helpful, generous and resourceful enough to help me where traditional resources have failed.

So here is a little about myself and my situation (he said to quickly give an overview in case people only had time to briefly skim over the key details):

# ABOUT ME:

\- My name is Sean.
\- I’m in my mid-60’s and I am active and stay very busy during the day.
\- I just started a job doing on-call front desk work at medical buildings.
\- I am easy-going and easy to get along with.
\- I am respectful of people’s boundaries and personal space.
\- I have a 13 lbs. grey cat (see picture) named Maude who stays inside and wouldn’t leave my room (she gets along with other cats and dogs).

# MY SITUATION:

\- I desperately need a room to rent for 1-3 months (that I can move into this Thursday, May 14th).
\- I was set to move into a rent-controlled apartment at the start of this month, then the DHS program I applied through lost its funding and was terminated.
\- My current landlord gave me an extra 2 weeks in my current apartment (which ends on 5/14)
\- I have money saved and I work so I’m obviously willing ace able to pay rent (even if it’s higher, or much higher than my rent control unit would’ve cost)
\- I am have a new Case Manager in a new program now and they’ll have a new place for me within 3 months.
\- I have a storage unit and would bring VERY few items with me
\- I use public transportation and don’t currently have a car (and don’t want one).
\- I actually enjoy the bus/max rides so don’t worry I won’t ever ask you for rides.

NOTE: I really could make just about anything work at this point. I just need to have a room where I can sleep, that I can also keep my cat in with me (during the day when I’m gone). I won’t be in the house much at all, as I’m out and about most of the day working and running errands.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I *would really appreciate the opportunity to meet you in the next 3 days and see if we would get along well* and could possibly work something out.

**Please message me through the Reddit App if you have something that you think would work. from there, I’ll be happy to give my phone number and contact information to anyone who has a serious opportunity.**

Hey all! Name’s Aaron! I have a spot that just opened on the SW Waterfront in a place called The Emery! It’s a cozy 2 bed, 2 bath spot (907 sq ft) with in unit laundry, ac/heating, close to public transit, on site maintenance and fully furnished living room. Per person, with parking and all utilities included, it equates to around $1,370 per month at max.

Looking for someone respectful, compassionate, clean, and hopefully on the left side of the political spectrum. If you’re bringing a pet, I believe it’s a flat extra $45 a month, we also have a dog wash station and a really great bike storage facility!

Please let me know if you are interested through DM and we can schedule a coffee meetup!

Looking to fill by May or June 1st at latest!

We’re looking for a third roommate to join our home in the South Tabor neighborhood of Portland! If you’re looking for a comfortable, friendly place with good energy, this could be a great fit.

About Us:

Two Taurians (Tauruses? Tauri? Taurdipods?.... whatever) Taylor (34 cis male he/him) and Roxanne (31 cis female she/her). We’ve been roommates for the past year with our friend Magen who is moving to Olympia, and we love that for her. 

Taylor is a former bartender and local immigrant rights activist who enjoys gardening, strategic games, and cooking for his roommates.  

Roxanne (if you sing the song you owe her a dollar) is a child care worker who enjoys playing volleyball, gaming, and social dancing. 

We keep a mostly clean home and prefer to find someone who is relatively tidy. No one will jump down your throat for leaving a dish in the sink, but we believe in mutually caring for our space and dividing the labor sensibly. If you see a task and you have capacity for it, do the task. We’ll return the favor. 

We’re a relatively sociable bunch who like to hang out when the stars align. We both keep separate schedules but like to get together when possible to go grab a drink, share a meal, or watch a show. You’re of course welcomed to join, but alone time is important too and we’re more than happy to respect it if you’re the type who prefers to keep to yourself. 

About You:

Not a Trump supporter (preferably emphatically anti-facist) 

LGBTQ friendly - It’s 2026. Be an ally or don’t apply

Responsible, stable, steady and timely with rent and bills. 

Reasonably friendly - We like to be able to hang out together while also respecting one another’s autonomy.  

Communicative and respectful. This house is a shared environment and we do our best to keep the common areas usable for everyone. 

Pets are a maybe, we’ll have to clear it with the property management company. Additional pet-rent may apply. 

Ideally Mid 20’s - 40’s, but exceptions can be made for the right roommate.

Preferably interested in staying for a year or longer (searching for roommates sucks).

Single or with a partner who lives separately.    

Other Details:

Lease is Month to Month

Managed by Greenbridge Property Management

420 friendly (don’t tell the landlord) we keep it outside or in the garage. 

If this sounds intriguing, send us a message with a little about yourself (work, hobbies, what you’re looking for in a home), and your favorite Mario Party™ character. 

We’d love to meet and see if it’s a good fit!
