🏡 About the Household & Me
You will be living with just me (live-in landlord) and my two friendly male cats, Olaf and Thor. You must like cats!
I work for the emergency services responding to 999 calls and work various shifts (early starts, late shifts, nights). I am very quiet when I come home late and expect the same mutual respect for a quiet environment.

This tenancy is not suitable for:
Someone who works from home (due to shift-related quiet hours during the day).
Couples (single occupancy only).
Smokers, vapers, or drug users (strictly prohibited indoors).
Party animals (the neighborhood is very quiet).

🤝 The Ideal Housemate
I am looking for a responsible professional (M-F ideally) who:
Is respectful, clean, and tidy (cleans communal areas immediately after use).
