I'm in the midst of negotiating a possible household with some nifty folk who I've run into here and there online, but only recently met in person.
Thus far, it appears that we are almost completely compatible; all that remains is for us to spend lots of time hanging out and see how we all get along. Also, I must meet their owner, and see if I'm allergic.
If this works out, we'll be looking to move in together sometime after January. This has the disadvantage of being in 4-5 months, but it has the advantage of giving me a chance to save up more money before I give up the cheap rent-ness that is my parent's place. Also, to get my body back to a stable point, and to lose more weight.
The petulant part of me wants to move sooner, but the practical part of me is very happy with the time frame.
There will be four or five of us. Finding a place that comfortably fits that many people will be tough, but if we're in no rush, it should be possible. And, my impression is that they are more willing to be towards the western end of TO than some other folks I've spoken with, who will go no further west than Dufferin, or in some cases, Christie. That will expand our options a LOT.
If you've rented a 4+ bedroom in TO, or know someone who has, we need your advice!
I'm wondering how you or your friends found the place in question. I see the occasional listing on Craigslist and on viewit.ca and similar sites, but not very many.
