While living in CA (the Long Beach) area for about the last seven years, I have had to rent various houses and apartments. Several times I've had to try and find a roommate to occupy my spare room to help me supplement my expense money. I discovered a sites service that was very helpful and supportive in finding me the perfect roommate for the rooms I've had to rent out in the past. So you may want to try out this site also! You can post a Free ad for your available room. And with the ability to up-load pictures of the room that your trying to occupy, along with being able to indicate exactly where it's located (right down to the address, neighborhood and cross street), as I discovered, hundreds of possible tenants will be viewing the room that you have for rent. Here's a link to the site: http://yourrentmate.com Good luck renting your room. Jamie it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests california
