This One Is Private: Christina Needs To Find New Housing. Can You Help?

Dear everyone, I hope you won't mind a personal message. I trust that someone just might know something. 

After five years in a basement suite, my hubby and I are ready to emerge above ground. 

Looking to rent a carriage house, cottage, detached suite, or upper level apartment with at least 1 bedroom plus den, or 2 bedrooms in Greater Victoria, starting Dec 1st, 2026, ideally. 

We are a mature (55+), responsible, quiet couple, working full time. Besides being a small business owner, I work as a horticulture educator and maintenance gardener. My husband is employed in Facilities Management at UVic. 

We don't smoke/vape or drink, our party years being far behind us. Favourable landlord reference available. 

We are quite flexible as to the location and size of our home. Anywhere in Greater Victoria or on the Saanich Peninsula is fine,  as long as we have access to a bit of private green space and can bring the cat. Our feline overlord is a "foster fail" who stole our hearts and became part of the family.

Expert garden care offered to sweeten the deal (wouldn't you love a live-in gardener?). 
We are also comfortable looking after chickens and horses and would enjoy a rural setting.

We're leaving our current address, and beloved garden, in South Jubilee as the house has been sold.

Thank you for reading. Any leads will be warmly appreciated.
