A Vancouver woman looking to rent out a room in a shared house says after getting no takers for months , she asked would-be tenants to name their own price.

Kate Ferguson listed an 11-foot by 15-foot bedroom with a south-facing window, a private bathroom and internet and utilities included for $ 1,200 .

Ferguson says she spent most of January panicking, worrying she'd be left covering the extra rent herself.
