## I Need A New Roommate, Desperately

> > So I came back to Toronto after winter break at home in the US to find that one of my two roommates is, abruptly, moving out because he wants to move in with his girlfriend. Very happy for them &c &c but because we got this news partway into the month this kinda fucked us in terms of getting a roommate for February, which is bad because my income doesn’t reeeally cover sudden 150% rent hikes. He’s searching for a replacement ostensibly but with ten days to go I’m not super optimistic.

> > Currently in the house is one queer girl in theater school (my roommate) and a queer, trans writer trying to figure out their gender identity (me), so finding a roommate comfortable with queerness is a priority. We’re in Kensington, close to UofT and OCAD, as well as downtown, and while the apartment is on the small side we’ve done a lot to make it comfortable, and the rent is good–$720 a month for each of us, which covers all our utilities.

> > Obviously right now I’ve got really compelling reasons to want to stay in Canada and not go back to the US, so being able to stay in this apartment is pretty important to me, particularly as the border to the US seems to be more and more fraught to cross, and particularly since I’m just slowly coming out of the closet and establishing a new gender identity.

> It’s getting close to the end of the month and we still haven’t found anyone so I’d really appreciate any more signal boosting!
