Emily needs a safe place to stay for 2 months
Hosting Emily would give a hardworking a call-centre agent the stability to find a new place.
🇿🇦 Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa672 views
After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a call-centre agent in Durban 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 2 months. I can pay $45 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 2–4 months
- format

wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Durban.
Stay strong, Emily. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Awka so I could bring a meal. All the best
