Room for rent

Thank you for your advice, that has been a concern of mine. The websites that I have found do background checks, though some want too much money �� enough to rent my own apartment. I think they want me to pay their mortgage? Asked for $1700...I'll keep looking ��

Are you saying that someone in Whittier is asking for $1700 monthly rent for a single bedroom and bath? That's very surprising because Craigslist has 2 bedroom apartments for $1325. I encourage you to keep looking.
 
Don't rent out your room. If you need the money, get a part-time job or smaller place. Gives me the creeps, just thinking about someone living in my house. Might want to jump out of the shower naked.
 
Patnono, what is your actual living situation? Last time I read, you had your own place and said your daughter and child would be moving out "soon". Is she kicking you out of your own apartment? Is this HER apartment? I am confused.
 
I'll look into that, matter of fact I'm signed on to that website, didn't think to look for that there? Ill look into it. Thanks
 
Hi thanks for writing, it's not in Whittier, out in the valley somewhere? They called it house shareing? I guess because they called it that? They felt they could ask for that much?
 
I'm looking for a room to rent, I understand that you wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. People are doing that because they can't afford pay their mortgage alone. Some websites do background checks on people who sign up. I am proceeding with caution. I live in California, very expensive here. My landlord just raised my rent almost $200 and wants me to purchase property insurance. I'm living on SSI and savings. Want to look for a PT job, don't know if I could work? I suffer from anxiety-depression and diabetes.

So sharing a house and splitting expenses rather than renting a room? Roommates typically split all expenses down the middle, rent included. Both the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys have plenty of apartments at a wide range of prices. Virtually all require potential renters to pass credit checks and other financial background inquiries. I'm just mentioning that - I don't know if it presents a problem for you.
 
My kids have always lived with me, it isn't working out us living together any more. They couldn't afford to stay here without my income. I'm looking to move out after the holidays. She's going to move with her sister.
 
Maybe if you check out some other areas of the country where rents are not as high as they are in California where you are at ?
I don’t know if you are willing to relocate, but it is definitely a way to find a cheaper place to rent.
I live in Alabama, and my friend has a little studio apartment nearby, and it is $450 including all utilities, and is on the bus line and near laundry and shopping.
Something like that gives you a little more space than just renting a room, plus you have privacy.
I am sure that there would be other places that have similar rental accommodations.
 
I have considered moving out of state, in El Paso Texas I saw s 1 bedroom for $445. But I also have to consider my age that if something happens to me, All of my family and friends are in California, they might not want to come to Texas?
