Short-term room wanted: Thandi in Johannesburg
Looking for a spare room in Johannesburg for a few months; Thandi can contribute to bills and help around the house.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South AfricaPosted Oct 1, 2026412 views
After being laid off and unable to cover rent, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a teacher's aide 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 3 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 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.
Thank you so much.
