Campus housing board

Room available from January — Graduate student looking for a quiet, non-smoking housemate for a two-bedroom apartment ten minutes’ walk from campus. Rent is $650 per month, which includes water and heating; electricity and internet are split between us. The room is furnished with a bed, desk and wardrobe.

The apartment has a small balcony and shared use of a washing machine in the basement. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed under the building’s rules. I work in a lab most days and am usually home in the evenings, so I’m looking for someone who is happy with a calm atmosphere.

The minimum stay is six months. A deposit of one month’s rent is required and will be returned at the end of the stay if the room is left in good condition. If you’re interested, send me a message with a short description of yourself and when you’d like to view the room.

1.What is included in the rent?

2.Which of the following is NOT allowed?

3.What kind of housemate is the writer looking for?

4.How much is the deposit?

5.What should interested people send?
