Hello! This message is a warning on behalf of former roommates and anyone who has current living arrangements in the house in question at 3788 Maxwell Street in Vancouver with Bridgette Gottschalk who has become the lease holder of upper level of the home.
She has posted consecutively over the past weeks and months trying to rent rooms in her shared home. She had moved from a smaller room to the biggest room of her home and has taken control of the lease. This has allowed her to charge roomates her share of the rent, unfairly making her housemates pay her share while she pays nothing. She is currently unemployed.
She is also notoriously diffucult to live with. She doesn't mention her strict sensitivity to strong food odours and chemical scents, strictly forbiding her roomates to use regular cleaning products (laundry detergents, household cleaners and body soaps) and imposing on her housemates to live the same regardless of how unpractical this can be. She has been known to bag and discard costly products without the consent of her roommates.
She is also a covert narcissist who will react adversly and angrily at any criticism no matter how slight. She greatly overestimates her competance for things she has little to no knowledge about. She says she appreciates direct peaceful open communication (non violent communication) but will happily swear at anyone she disagrees with, including her own roommates. She also will happily bad talk anyone she doesn't like behind their back.
At the end of February several of her roomates left the home because they just couldn't live with her. The same room that was occupied is advertised is again after only a month later.
Bridgette is impossible to live with let alone be social with.
She should not be allowed to advertise rooms under false pretenses. It would not be okay if someone were to experience the hardships of living with her.
Please keep this in mind if you are going to rent at this address. Thanks!
