[Question / ISO ]

It’s been about 5 years since I’ve needed to look for a roommate and am looking to do so again. I will need to give notice in a couple weeks as I believe NC is a 60 notice. Lease is over second week of June. I am currently finishing a lease in SW Raleigh near Lake Johnson. Things are fine here although the place I have is much bigger than I need. I am also looking to save money and build up an emergency fund as a result of this virus that continues to spread.

I am familiar with Craigslist, Padmapper and Raleigh rooms. RaleighRooms seems dead for the most part, Craigslist seems to have more scams than I recall but has the most listings and Padmapper is great for finding places using a map. An issue I have noticed is that is does not seem many people are looking for rooms more than a week or so in advance. I am trying to be more proactive and not scramble after providing notice. I have only been here about a year so I do not have much of a network. Any advice on what has been helpful?

About me: Really like it here so far. People are great, lots to do. Familiar most with Raleigh but open to Durham (preferable S/SW area), and to a lesser extent Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Cary, Carrboro, etc). I am a male, with one cat, in his 30s with 3 jobs although down to 1 now. Open to renting a basement in a house, room in an apartment or house/condo, open minded to other situations as long as I have a private room, can bring my cat. Dishwasher in the kitchen would be great and a washer/dryer in unit is a plus.

I don’t plan on having people over since I do not know many and am new to the area. Anywhere close to a park is great. I don’t need to be best friends with whomever I live with but definitely want a situation where I have your back and you have mine. Able and willing to help with almost anything just looking to cut down expenses. My one bedroom is 1,025 and a two bedroom is 1,225. Makes sense to split the cost in half.

TL/DR: What resources have you used to find a successful roommate situation?

So I am getting a house is August and I have been thinking of renting out a room or two however I don’t know if I should completely furnish the rooms or not. What would you rather have? Furnished or unfurnished.

Thanks!

My girlfriend is starting a program at UNC this May so we are looking to move in April. We would like to find a house with a fenced-in yard. I am in an apartment now and would rather have a home but if not possible it looks like the Astor might be reasonable.

Please share this post. I am hoping to get about 60 Millennial participants for my anonymous doctoral study. https://ncu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3miQGI3KamBPHaR

Hi everyone! I am hoping to move to the Raleigh area in May/June this year. I plan on driving up for a visit in the next few weeks to hopefully meet some people and inquire about jobs. I am a 28yr old F from Florida. Looking to relocate for a change of pace and something new. I have a small 15lb hypoallergenic dog that is 6 and very sweet. She lives best with other dogs as she loves to have a friend around. Hoping to stay close to the downtown area for now so I can get the best experience possible.

If you know anyone I’d be compatible with, send them my way! Thanks friends. Cheers!

Roommate wanted for cozy home in the Five Points area. 800sqft.

The room is unfurnished and has a closet.

Rent is $647.50/mo and the utilities usually land a little less than $200. The lease is up in Nov., so I’m looking for someone who’d stay through the end and maybe longer if we decide to extend.

I’ve recently moved to the area and haven’t gotten around to fully furnishing yet. Working on getting this done ASAP. If you have a couch or any furniture that you’d like to move in, that would also work for me.

Location is great. Right around the corner from a couple of breweries and convenient to downtown.

I am a queer 30-year-old professional. I occasionally work late nights and weekends. I am a homebody and am looking for someone who isn’t going to mind that. When I’m not at work, I like to cook, read, and watch tv. If you like board/video games, I’m always down for someone to play with. Also interested in planting some veggies in the small back yard, if that’s something you’d be into.

No pets. LGBTQA+ folx encouraged to reach out. I’m a vegetarian and would prefer someone who is as well.

I would expect whoever moves in to share household responsibilities, i.e. cleaning and helping with yard work.

If this sounds like it would be a good fit for you, please hit me up so we can meet and see if we vibe. Shoot me a pm with some info about yourself, and we can go from there.

Hi all,

Hi there! I am a 28 yr old single female thinking of moving to the Raleigh area from Jacksonville FL. I have a small dog and would be looking for work in the service industry (brewery, restaurant, coffee shop) and some type of yoga studio or spa while I finalize my career in Health and Wellness.

I enjoy great food , coffee, live music, an early nightlife, anything outdoors and anything yoga/fitness related. My question to all of you is:

What do you love/hate about Raleigh?

Is it a fun place to live? Would you recommend it?

What are the safest/most affordable areas? The best time of year to move?

Any information you want to pass on to me, I am happy to hear! Good and bad :)

Hi everyone! I recently bought a house that overlaps with my apartment lease :( I am looking for someone to move into my apartment in May (date negotiable). You wouldn't take over my lease, you would be starting your own. The apartment is a Junior 1 bedroom, 695 sqft, best location, free garage parking, in unit laundry, HUGE walk-in closet and bathroom, fully upgraded. I currently pay $1124, but that price may increase a tiny bit with the new lease. Let me know if you are interested. Happy to send over photos :)

I’m searching for someone to take over my share of the lease and replace me for my roommate. He is a full time working IT professional. The lease ends in June, but you can decide whether you’d like to renew it after or not.

— Own Bedroom and Bathroom

— 2-minute drive from Park West Village

— 10-minute drive from Lenovo, Biogen, Cisco, Netapp

— The living room is furnished (You are welcome to bring your own furniture)

— No smoking inside

— Excluding utilities, the rent is $630 per person ($1260 for a month, but split by two)

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me via Reddit Chat or DM if you have any questions. I’d be more than happy to answer them, show you pictures, and also show you the apartment.
Thanks.

Need an affordable dental cleaning? Haven’t had a dental cleaning in 10+ years? Have a history of needing deep cleanings and are overdue? Have children or teens that need a cleaning? If yes to any of these questions, then this is the post for you!

Please read ALL info if interested! I’m entering my final semester of dental hygiene school and am looking for a few more patients. This includes a search for a specific type of patient that would be willing to participate in my state licensing exam, summer of 2020, which I will be happy to provide more info on this specifically, just message me.

Step one: Meet one or more of the requirements listed in the first paragraph. Ideal candidates are adults who are very overdue for a cleaning, and children/adolescents.

Step two: Come in for a free screening!

Step three: to be determined after your screening appointment

Further explanation: We are a learning facility and therefore do things quite differently than a normal dental office. It’s important for our patients to know this ahead of time. Appointments do take longer than a regular office, and you may have a need that requires multiple appointments. However, you will receive some of the best, and most thorough dental care you’ve ever experienced!

Screening appointments: these are single visit appointments that allow us to determine your individual care needs. During this appointment, you will receive any necessary X-rays, get a free consultation with one of our fabulous dentists (whom can provide dental referrals for any work that we are unable to do). These appointments typically take 2 hours or less and the only payment needed for this appointment is for your x-rays. X-ray costs vary depending on that individual’s needs, but never exceed $15 total. After your screening appointment, you will be assigned to an appropriate student and put on their schedule, or will continue with me into your cleaning. Children under 12 do not require screening appointments and can jump right into a cleaning appointment.

Cleaning appointments: These appointments can last for about 3-4 hours each. Depending on the level of care you need, you may need anywhere from 1-4 appointments. On average, 3 appointments are needed. Cleanings are $20 for adults and $10 for children. This is a one-time cost, NOT an amount due at each appointment. Children under 12 can typically be seen and finished in 1 appointment. If they require sealants it may take 2 appointments. Sealants also cost $2 dollars each. Adolescents can take 1-2 appointments depending on their needs as well.

Please keep in mind that we only do cleanings and sealants, and cannot do any restorative work such as fillings or crowns.

Children under 18 are welcome in our waiting room, but must have an adult present with them at all times. In other words, unless the child is the patient for that day, they will need an extra caregiver to wait with them in our lobby. This rule is in place only to protect the children, not to cause more hassle! We apologize in advance for any inconvenience regarding this!

Our clinic is located in Raleigh, off of New Bern, by Wake Med hospital.   Thank you so much for reading! If you or anyone you know may be interested, please reach out! I’m always happy to answer any further questions! Support your local college students and let us help you get your health on track for the new year!

Good evening, (or day or afternoon or night)

I am looking to find someone or a couple to take over my lease at a luxury apartment complex. The lease runs through May 25th. The apartment complex has always offered me the chance to renew, so I don’t see why they would not offer you the same chance. I am offering this at a discount through the end of the lease. The price I have been paying is 1033, and I know that the same apartment is over 1400 to just move in to at my complex. Don’t be afraid to message me with any questions! Thank you for your time and interest!

Hello, I recently accepted a job in Creedmoor, NC, and will be moving to North Raleigh early March. What I am looking for is no more than $850 rent, my own bed and private bathroom, and no smoking. I'm pretty set on living within the 27615 zip code area. Ideally, I'd like to find someone else searching for an apartment in the area and find an apartment together. Please let me know if anyone needs a roommate in the North Raleigh area! Thank you!

Last week I suffered a back injury at work and I have to do a lot of physical therapy over the next few months. Unfortunately this has set me back a lot financially and I cant afford to stay in Raleigh anymore. I'll be moving with family in another state soon. Very unfortunate timing because my lease starts today and ends July 24th 2020.

The apartment is a 4x4 bedroom at the Vie. I never got to see what the room is like nor do I know anything about the roommates. It's $559 a month with all utilities included. You'd have your own bedroom and bathroom in the same room. It has basic furnishings such as bed, dresser, desk and chair.

I'm very desperate as I can barely afford all my other bills as well as medical

Hey I am looking for a roommate for a 2Bed/2Bath apartment. I am open to either gender but I am 23 year old female. I have 2 cats so please at least like cats.

I keep to myself for the most part but I do like to watch tv.

Let me know if you are interested. Move in would be mid feb. I just got a job in Raleigh so I have to move.

We will potentially be moving to Raleigh within the next 30-60 days. We are looking at both houses and apartments to rent.

Majority of the rental houses we are coming across are through Progress Residential. Is anyone familiar with them? Are they good to work with or are they horrible like American Homes for Rent?

I did search and found a couple posts on management companies to avoid, but I didn't see anything regarding Progress.

TIA.

I (21M) will be moving to Raleigh for work (starting sometime between July and August) and I was wondering if anybody had any tips for where I should be looking and when I should start searching? I was hoping to have something locked down sooner rather than later, but it's to my understanding that most most renters only have to give two months notice so it might be impossible to know what is available until May. I will be working in SW Raleigh on the intersection of 40 and 440 (practically Cary) and wanted to know people's opinion on living in Cary versus Raleigh. I'm looking to spend $800 max on rent, although cheaper would be better, and am anticipating living with a roommate or two.

Hello, I'm a 20 year old transgender male (female to male) looking for a place near a bus line-- GoRaleigh/GoCary/etc. The most I can pay for rent and utilities combined is $350 a month. I am looking to move into a place in January 2020/ASAP, though around October 2020 is okay.

I will possibly move in with another person if we both get rooms or one big room. If I was to do so, the budget would be increased to $600-750 a month at most for the two of us together.

I'm a game dev student who likes writing, reading, and video games. I'm fairly introverted and keep to myself mostly. No drugs or alcohol, and no pets either.

Thanks for reading!

The townhomes under iSleepWith properties at NCSU, do the include utilities and and cable?

Long story short. I'm a 45 year old female. Recently single after a 20 year relationship came to an end recently. I've had a mortgage for well over 10 years, now I have to find a place to rent. I'm pretty open to pretty much anything, I'm very laid back, I just need it to be in a safe location and if it's a room mate situation, I don't want to be living alone with a man. Females preferred, no couples, no single men.

About me: Immaculate. I clean up after myself like June Cleaver on crack. However, I don't do drugs, I don't smoke, I don't vape and I very rarely even have a glass of wine. I don't have a criminal record, no repossessions, no foreclosures, etc. I pay my bills early, I don't have wild parties much less overnight guests (I swear, I'm not boring! LOL) and I have my own car.

For a living, I do digital marketing. Matter of fact, I just started my own business. I can provide as many references as you need both professional and personal. I do work from home (but I am up for getting an office) so to be around people, I sometimes will drive for Lyft. And yes, I have the BEST stories! ;)

Also about me, I love my cats. I've been volunteering as a cat rescue in my town for 5+ years. Because I didn't see myself in the situation I am in now, I do have a an older pug and 4 adult cats and I don't want to part without them. So, I am very much willing to provide a non-refundable, generous deposit for a rental home of my own. Again, I'm immaculate. My cats are all litter box trained. I have my carpets & fabric furniture professionally cleaned at least twice a year because I don't do pet odors at all.

If you have questions or think you might have a place, please reach out to me.

Also, thanks for coming to my Ted talk. ;)

Hello,

My name is Maria and I am looking for someone to take over the rest of my lease it has 6 months left. You'd be picking up at the same rate 529$ EVERYTHING (electricity, water, 5G internet, even fully furnished but don't have to use it if you have your own stuff). Move in would be as soon as the condo accepts your application preferably before January.

It's 10 minutes from Downtown Raleigh, and 8 from Downtown Cary. All pets welcome, LGBTQI+ allies.
Females only.

Message me for details for the application.

Room available in beautiful townhouse in Cameron Village. Located right behind the Walgreens and Crunch Fitness.

My roommate will be moving out in mid-January, so I am looking for someone starting in February. The room will be furnished with a dresser, bed, and possibly an end table, however, it was free furniture left by my previous roommate when she moved out of Raleigh and any of it can be donated if you have your own furniture you prefer. The room also has two closets, three windows and nice hardwood floors.

You would share a bathroom with me, but there is also a half bath downstairs. I also have a hypoallergenic Bengal kitten who will be 11 months old in February. She is incredibly sweet, and if you are allergic to cats, no worries as you will not be allergic to her. I am highly allergic to other breeds, and have never had so much as an itchy throat or eye with her.

The house is walking distance to so many things - NC State main campus, everything in Cameron Village and Glenwood South, to name the main areas.

Rent is $700 plus utilities which typically come out to $50-75/month. Water and the heating cost for water are included in rent.

If you're interested in more information, please send me a private message to discuss.
