5 Questions For Potential Roommate

Let me share some potential questions one need to ask before selecting a potential roommate for your apartment. These questions were prepared by me using some online literature when I am looking for a roommate before moving into one of the apartments in Philadelphia. The questions are:
  • What is your schedule like? Different schedules in the house are good for roommates to have time apart and time alone. On the other side different schedule irritates. Just when you’re winding down and trying to sleep same time if you’re roommate is getting around, showering, shaving, and on the phone, I thick I no need to say how one would feel like.
  • Where do you work? Jobless, hard working, or anything else that sounds suspicious. If your roommate is reserved about his sales job, the roommate may be in to something that is not legal.
  • Do you need room for a pet? Does your pet need special care? You need to know if pet hair needs vacuuming, cages cleaned, walking, feeding, etc. Will your pet annoy neighbors or annoy you.
  • Do you smoke? You need to talk about smoking with roommate. You may also say, “Do you care if I smoke?” at the same time do you allow others to smoke in the apartment?
  • How clean is clean enough for the apartment? How often should the house be cleaned?
