Seriously - there would probably less wear and tare on the place.
Those of you who follow me on twitter, you know that we have found another roommate. This one, let's call him....Aaron - had a look at our place the afternoon after the last person backed out and showed up the next day with TWO CERTIFIED CHEQUES. I'm super impressed with this guys style, and I beleive he's set a new standard for future roommmates ('cause you gotta know by know he won't stick around for long lol).
Aaron was actually quite up front about what he was looking for and his longeviety potential. He told us that he's currently a student and is planning on finishing this semester and one summer semester in Calgary (so we're good until end of June) - he said he's not sure where he'll be as of July 1, 2010 - that all depends on if he gets into the school he wants in BC.
So even though he's temporary, we're already ahead of the game because we know we'll be looking for someone again in the summer.
We should install a rotating door...
