⭐ About Me (Live‑in Landlord)
I run a business from home as a part‑time hairdresser and image consultant.
My workspace is in the kitchen/dining area during the day.
When I have clients, the kitchen and shower cannot be used — Communal areas including the bathroom, must be clean and tidy - I communicate my weekly schedule.

For the past six years, I have hosted lodgers of all ages at the property. I have also owned a rental property and managed holiday lets, earning five-star reviews for cleanliness and hospitality.

My daughter returns home during university holidays.

Someone who is:

Female

Not working or studying from home during the day(weekdays)

Clean, tidy and domesticated

Quiet

Mature, respectful and trustworthy

Friendly but independent

Active in their private life

Able to keep their room clean every two weeks

Willing to share weekly cleaning duties (bathroom + hoovering stairs)

Respectful of the home, landlord’s belongings and communal areas

⭐ Important
This is a calm, quiet, friendly, clean, well‑run home — not a noisy or messy house.

⭐ Trial Period & Contract
There is a two‑week trial to ensure we are a good fit.
Notice will be given if the trial does not work out.
A contract and references are required.
