Seeking Housing
Seeking MCS friendly housing in Minneapolis/St. Paul, the ‘burbs, or nearby areas/towns. I’ve been living in the Twin Cities for a year and half and have had a very hard time finding housing that works for my chemical, fragrance, exhaust, and mold sensitivities. I’m flexible as to location and other factors so that I can find a place where I can be healthier! Does anyone have a room for rent/want a housemate who has a fairly MCS friendly place? I’m happy to rent monthly, weekly, or yearly.
Specifically, I’m looking for a spot with: only unscented bath products, soaps, and detergents, no candles, no incense, no air fresheners, no smokers, no chemical cleaning products, away from a major road, no musty smells or prior major leaks, no garden level or basement dwellings, and no or little carpet. Also, no cats or long-haired dogs. This is basically what I’m looking for. An exception could be OK, depending. I think I’m mildly EMF sensitive and would be fine either way – with or without a low/no EMF house. I’m hoping someone has a place for me!
More details about me: I’m a white woman in my 30’s. LGBTQIA+ friendly. I have lived with housemates most of my adult life. I prefer open, direct, and compassionate communication. I eat healthy (GF, DF) and cook daily. I spend time on my computer, journaling, and about 25-30 hours outside the house a week. I love nature! My favorite place to be is outside. I used to be more active and hope to be that way again with a healthier home environment. If I watch TV, it’s on my phone or computer. I like to see housemates and chat briefly during the day or for longer in the evening. However, I’m flexible and can accommodate a more social or more private lifestyle. Thank you for reading and considering. Much health to all!
