<p>I'm looking for an apartment in <a href="/tags/ottawa/" rel="tag">#Ottawa</a> and I would like to ask the community for help.</p><p>I'm an excellent tenant. I've never missed a rent payment. I’m quite quiet, except I do on occasion like to sing.</p><p>My absolutely ideal setup would be:<br>- in Centretown / Little Italy / Hintonburg (within walking distance of many friends),<br>- tenant control over HVAC (including a/c, because I overheat),<br>- dishwasher and microwave and space for more kitchen appliances (so I can cook and share),<br>- two bedrooms (so I can host people on occasion, e.g. if there is a power outage elsewhere).</p><p>If we're getting crazy fanciful, I would love to have access to a tiny garden and space for a solar battery.</p><p>The reason I'm asking the community for help is because I'm having a lot of trouble with corporate landlords. Many of them, experienced tenants advise against. Some landlords say they have available units but refuse to answer phone calls or emails. Some may be perfectly nice but my life circumstances don't fit within their corporate forms and therefore I'm out of luck. (This is a recurring <a href="/tags/actuallyautistic/" rel="tag">#ActuallyAutistic</a> experience.)</p><p>I would love to find a long-term rental from someone who appreciates a reliable if somewhat unusual tenant.</p>
