Our daughter and grand-daughter is moving back to Calgary from BC this week. They'll be staying with us for several weeks while her and her partner save up to rent a place. Darlene has been scouring craigslist and kijiji looking for suitable places for them to rent when the time comes and has also posted a 'wanted to rent' notice on their behalf. The notice indicated 2 bedrooms, washer/dryer, dishwasher, all utilities included (no sharing utilities with other suites), and free parking, in northwest or southwest quadrant of the city only for $1200/mo, to move in April 1st.It amazes me how you can include very specific details about what kind of place you're looking for but still get solicited with offers from folks who obviously didn't read your posting or chose to ignore the details. Even funnier are the added details on their part that make you wonder what these people were thinking when they responded.
Like the person that offered the main floor of a house with a sun room add-on, but asked that the tenants let her nephew that lives in the sun room use their shower, laundry and kitchen when necessary. He's a good boy though. He won't be a problem.
Another response was a main floor of a house to share with a single lady and her dog. She's never home because of a 15 hour work day and is asking $549 per bedroom plus utilities.
Yet another was for a 2 bedroom house for $1500 plus utilities (averaging $300/mo). So a total of $1800/mo.
Our post wasn't very cryptic. Did they think our needs / requests were optional?
