We don’t have a ton of money and so are looking for a free or cheap basement suite to live in for a few months. Length of time is unknown as we are not sure how long the visa process will take. We are looking for something starting March 20. Any help would be appreciated.

HOUSING WANTED- Hi my name is Nicky and my husband and I are looking for a suite to rent long-term. We currently have to leave our current suite because the landlord needs it for his mom. We are both Christians who love Jesus and want to follow him in our everyday life. We are respectful and honouring in the places we rent. We don’t party or do drugs.

So we mostly live off my husband’s income. I drive for Panago Pizza and my husband works in a machine shop. We have been married for 2 years and are so happy together.

Budget is as cheap as possible, preferably below $1500/month. We’re young professionals, my fiancé is a mechanical engineer and I work in the non-profit sector.
