After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a line cook in Chicago 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 $380 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 a landlord and employer 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Derek. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Take care!
You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia
