Dear Josey,
Thanks for meeting with me yesterday. It was so great meeting you. I want to finalize the details of our roommate arrangement over email so everything is spelled out and we both know where each other stands and there are no miscommunications about what I expect so that expectations are clear.
I propose the following arrangement:
1.You try your best to be at the apartment whenever I’m home (obviously, school comes first and this might not always be possible). I’m most tempted at night, when the apartment is quiet, so feel free to make noise until you go to bed. I read a lot, but I won’t mind the sounds you make. Have you ever read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn? There is this one passage where she talks about the world being hers for the reading, that poetry is for quiet companionship, biographies are for when she wanted to feel close to someone, and adventures are for times when she is tired of the quiet. I’ve been reading a lot of adventures lately.
2.You live here rent free, and
3.I cover all your school expenses, and
4.I pay you a salary of 3k euro every month for expenses.
5.Commitment / term of 6 months minimum.
Does this work for you? I’ll be happy to pay you more if you think you need more pocket money.
You should move in this Saturday. I have the day off and will help. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
-Will
