$200/week•25 year old woman
I am a bit of a hermit at times and like time to myself, but am open to a place with other people if my standards are met;
I expect to be treated with respect, as a person, and in turn I will do the same. None of this "I'm older, so you must do what I say, when I say it, or else". However, if someone does act like that on occassion, then expect to get back what you give me, e.g, the same amount of stress, noise, etc.
I consider 'as clean as humanly possible given circumstances' a must, and get upset VERY easily when things are kept dirty for no other reason than someone just can't be bothered, or say they will get to it, but they never do. Everyone is responsible for their own space, that is their responsibility, and I'd appreciate it, for me and others, if they follow that rule. Also, common areas must be kept clean at all times. if not already.
I've found that excessively loud noises are quite overwhelming and upset and startle me quite easily (even loud car horns can make me fall over, it's like a shockwave), and I don't want to be the person who is always shouting "keep the noise down!". I don't think I can handle a place with loud pets and children, I'd just be living in a constant state of stress.
I am also nervous around dogs, but am open to them as long as they don't run around me and knock things over playing.
I have had a cat before, so I know the basics of keeping them.
Please, no drinking and noise at all hours of the day and night. I feel that everyone gets upset if they are constantly kept up. In saying that, a bit of socialization is OK, but please cap it off by midnight.
I would prefer a garage/carport to house my 40 year old car properly, as I am concerned about it potentially rusting further and take enough pride in it to care about the exterior as well as keeping it functional. I also have a cover for it, so not necessarily a deal breaker, but would make things easier for me.
I detest people always complaining about money, that they never have enough, especially if they make more than I do.
I expect my belongings to be left alone and my space respected at all times.
I appreciate help with certain tasks e.g., hanging out the washing, doing the dishes, etc., but I hate it when people just muscle in like I'm no longer capable. I still have 2 arms, 2 legs, and can still walk.
I believe that I wouldn't mind people that were LGTBTQ/allies as I don't believe in ostracizing people, and that behaviour is the most disgusting thing on the planet.
Unfortunately, people get the wrong idea about me frequently, and just assume things without asking me first. Such as they will assume I'm angry all the time as I probably have rosacea/pink undertone to my skin. Or I will be completely covered up, but my unaltered top/jeans might hug me a bit too much in places. Or that because my mobility is degrading faster than expected, that I cannot do everyday tasks. Or that I'm "just using them" to get around as I cannot bring myself to get public transport because of anxiety and cannot drive my car yet.
In regards to my declining mobility, I will require a few things around the house;
If multi storey, an elevator/chair lift as I cannot climb stairs very well anymore due to past surgeries on my lower body.
Flat ground as much as possible in and around the house. I do have more falls that you would expect, and frequently need a bit of extra help getting off the ground.
A shower with enough space within the cubicle so I can use my shower chair comfortably. I cannot use a bath comfortably as getting up is even more of a struggle with water around.
I would prefer my own toilet/bathroom IF the existing people tend to need it a lot more.
