    East London! Do you have or know of a flat/house with three bedrooms available to rent from mid-October?

    A lecturer, retraining doctor, and me, a media critic (for 12 years, oh my god) are looking for somewhere as close as possible to the Bow/Hackney kind of area. Two bathrooms (or one and a second toilet) and parking space for a motorbike, and room for a bicycle are needed. We all want to stay for at least a year due to ongoing commitments, and we all want to save money because we're disabled and shit is really goddamn scary rn

    Thank you!

    I would strongly prefer not to deal with agencies, who in my experience are liars and incompetents who lie to and cheat and rip off both parties.

    Personally, I'm not bothered about the second bathroom, so at a push that can go, but the rest is not really possible to drop.

    We want a place for the three of us, not to add to an even bigger place. That's too many factors and none of us are 19 anymore.

    The "disabled" part will never affect you/a landlord. We are independent and sort out our own needs (living together being a major means, for example).

    Failing that, I am also looking at rooms to rent just for me, which oh my god I really do not want to have to move again at all, but my current place is only temporary

    same requirements there, apart from the bike and extra bathroom. And if I go on my own, I'm covid consciouss and would strongly prefer to move in with someone else who is too.. And as few people as possible. And not with any men.

    Which never used to be such a hard thing to find, but 🤷‍♀️

    I have lived in this area for 5 years, and plan to for another one, while I finish up some projects that I'll spend much of November planning after the move

    (also i was an archivist and a records and various kind of admin person, of the sort that on paper does forms but in practice does esoteric and boring but very powerful bureaucracy spellcasting. But if I do get back on that next year it'll be part time and remote, and additive, so, for now, just critic)

    well, technically critic and consultant, but that's one of the project things so

    seriously you'd be surprised at some of the places I've worked, several "oooh" conversation starters in interview cos everyone's either heard of them or they sound intriguing.

    but no I am absolutely not putting "please stalk and murder me" details like that online lol
