Hi all,
I recently graduated from Simpson University in Redding, CA with a BA In Business Administration, and I am seeking employment and a place to live in San Francisco. I've been looking around the internet trying to find Christian roommates. Does anyone have any ideas on finding Christian roommates in the area?

Thanks,
Loren

Your church?

Seriously. I think you wouldn't be able to post something like that on Craigslist because it could be considered flaggable as discrimination, so no one will do it. But I have friends that had a flat in their home they rented consistently to Japanese students because the guy's mom was Japanese and they wanted someone she could talk to. I asked how they managed it and she said they advertised in places where Japanese students were, in Japanese. If no one else can read it, no one else will apply.

After his mom died, and the students left for the year, they rented it out on Craigslist.

Actually, I don't think that's true - you're allowed to state preferences, as long as you don't clearly say "I will not rent to" a certain group. When I advertised for roommates on craigslist, I stated that my preference was gay males (it just works best with me, a straight female), but that I'd consider anyone else... luckily I found what I was looking for. So maybe the OP could do it that way, posting an ad that says she PREFERS a Christian roommate?

And maybe because the OP is a renter not a landlord she can state a preference? Which I hadn't thought of...

Craig's List - yes, and just state that you are looking for Christian roommates - unless, the ad already says it. Imho, I wouldn't post an ad titled 'Christian - looking for a another Christian roommate' or something similar- when you see potential roommate ads for yourself - simply, non - chalantly ask, 'what are your views on religion?'- or some sort of 'hint' as to what their beliefs and practices are. Or, you could just be honest and downright ask them if they are Christian.

Good luck!

Default Room to rent

Hello Loren,

I am a Christian Professional woman looking to rent a room in SF for 8 months. I am being transferred to SF from Monterey and my family will be staying here until my daughter graduates high school the end of May (we will then all be relocated to SF).

I would like to learn more about your location, rent price etc.
Please email me at [email]jllewis@me.com[/email]

Thank you
