You're doing it backwards. *You* need to look at and respond to ads that other people have posted looking for a renter. Nobody responds to ads from people looking for a room.

That's not correct.
I know someone who posted a profile of themself under "roommates/shared" and found a couple of places by people with rooms to rent contacting her. The people with rooms to rent did not have their places listed on CL.

OP, how do you manage to work from home and you can't figure out how to go rent an apt? I am more and more amazed at SOME of the younger people today, and what they don't know how to do.

That occurred to me, also. OP, how can you live alone, without your sister, if finding a rental is beyond your ability? No matter the pout you have against your sister - can you really live alone?

It always makes me laugh when people demand "respect" simply based on how long they have been on earth. There is a rock in my back yard that has been in existence for a very long time, but it doesn't demand that I "respect" it. You want respect? Earn it.

The OP is having trouble finding a place because he is self-employed and has no pay stubs to prove his income.

It was suggested to him multiple times that his tax return for the last several years would be sufficient for a self-employed person. However, this didn't seem to help. It may be he is underreporting his income.

What he needs is to find a private landlord renting out something like a garage apt or guest cottage and who doesn't verify income.

So your sister has put you up and you're resentful of her? Man, I sure don't think I want to know you.

I suppose this could serve as a cautionary tale to NOT move in with someone you don't like or get along with in the first place.

As someone that deals with a lot of private landlords, it's rare to find one dumb enough to not verify income. They are very aware of the fact that it is a nightmare to get someone in that can't pay the rent and they have to go through the eviction process to get them out. If they were ever naive in the beginning, they learn to verify later.

I suspect you are correct in that the OP is under-reporting income on his tax return.
