Looking for a spare room in Johannesburg for a few months; Mandla can contribute to bills and help around the house.

After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in Johannesburg 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 $85 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. Thank you for reading my story.

    You're not alone, Mandla. This could happen to any of us.

      I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best

        Hope it all works out, Mandla. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

          So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Paarl.
