Ask for References
If you’re still unsure about whether or not a potential roommate is a good fit for you, ask for references. Talk to their friends, family, or former roommates to get their opinions.
References from Friends and Family
References from friends and family can be valuable, but it’s important to keep in mind that they may be biased. They may not be aware of any problems that the roommate may have.
References from Former Roommates
References from former roommates can be the most helpful, as they can provide you with firsthand accounts of what it’s like to live with the roommate. Be sure to ask them about the roommate’s personality, habits, and any problems that they may have had.
