Vital Questions To Ask Your New Roommate

When searching for new roommate you may find yourself interviewing a lot of candidates. This is not a process you want to rush through. Even someone that may seem ideal at first glance could prove to be incompatible when you ask a few probing questions. It's important you find out as much as you can before they agree to move in. Here are some vital questions to ask your new potential roommate: clothes-hangers-582212_960_720 Do You Have References I Can Call? Anytime you've ever applied for a job you had to provide references. The same should apply when looking for a roommate. Obviously, their family members will give them a "glowing review." You should hear from employers or past landlords. If your prospective roommate is hesitant to provide those kinds of references, then you have to ask yourself "why?" What Time Do You Go To Bed? This isn't about you snooping but about searching for compatibility. Maybe your roommate works the night shift somewhere. Although that might seem perfect because it gives you the house all to yourself it might work against you. What if you have to tiptoe around during the day? If you have a roommate that describes themselves as a "night owl," then it could be someone who is up watching TV or talking to friends until the wee small hours of the morning. Not an ideal roommate. Where Do You Work? Find out where a person works not only says a lot about their personality but also about their source of income. There's nothing wrong with a fast food worker but someone who only earns minimum wage might not be able to afford all the bills in your apartment. Anyone who says they are "in between careers" is not someone you want moving in with you no matter how much fun they might seem. Do You Expect Any Out-Of-Town Visitors? When someone moves in with you and pays half the rent, they are entitled to a certain amount of privileges. That should include things like having out-of-town guests. After all, you may want your own family or friends to visit. However, there is one thing about an occasional weekend guest versus people coming in every week or staying for a month. It might be hard to predict this type of behavior but one good indication of potential trouble would be someone who is currently in a long-distance relationship. You can count on frequent visits with that situation. Once you settle on a roommate you going to need to get their room ready.
