There are a ton of reasons why you would want to choose to get a roommate to move into your apartment with you. They will be able to help share in the cost of the rent and will be someone who is around when you are at home for safety and to make sure that you have someone around to socialize with. But you need to figure out the right person to be your roommate because you are going to be stuck with them for a year or more depending on the length of your lease.

Before you start searching for a new roommate, you need to take a look at what qualities you would like to find in a good roommate. Those who are moving to a new city may like to find a roommate who is able to double as a new friend. If you just want to cut some costs, you may want to go with a roommate who is quiet and can keep the place tidy. If you are struggling due to your past rental history or your credit, then you will need to find a roommate who can use their own credit and rental past to help.

All of these situations for finding a good roommate are going to be valid, but it is important to decide ahead of time why you want a roommate and what the relationship with this person is going to look like from the start. You can then direct your search a little bit more to make sure you find the perfect roommate.

Once you know more about the relationship you would like to have, you need to identify what qualities you would like to see to meet that goal. For example, if you are trying to find a roommate who can be your friend at the same time as paying the rent will want to ask about the interests and hobbies of all potential roommates to help. It will all depend on what you are hoping to find with your new roommate.
