A spare room for 4 months: Harold, working in Los Angeles, between homes

After my landlord selling the building, Harold needs a safe, quiet room in Los Angeles for 4 months while getting back on their feet.

After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide in Los Angeles and I have a steady income, but I can't find a place that will let me in without the first month, a deposit and references that I'm in the middle of replacing. I'm looking for a spare room for 4 months. I can pay $250 a month toward bills, I'm tidy and quiet, and I'd be happy to help with cooking, shopping or yard work. I have no pets, I don't smoke, and I have two work references. I understand that inviting a stranger into your home is a big step. I'd be glad to meet in a public place first and to share my work details. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

                        You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
