HOW CAN I SPOT A HORRIBLE ROOMMATE BEFORE I MOVE IN?

Sleephungry | Be hungry for more!!

Having a roommate is a mixed blessing. You are able to manage expenses and afford high rent by splitting. You get a company which is better than to live all alone and high chances of ending good friends until the roommate are a total stranger and full of incompatible habits.
In order to avoid the later hassle, one must have a good talk with the roommate before moving in; it could be referred as a healthy talk for building a decent rapport between two individuals.
You should ask all doubts in your mind; discuss the financial aspect of splitting rent and money on other expenses like supplies and maids. Also be clear about your allergies and dislikes regarding living together.
The first time I shifted to a flat from a hostel it was on twin sharing. It was a huge house but with a single bedroom, it became really necessary for both of us to adjust according to each other. I had asthma and I made it clear in her mind, my roommate also started smoking in the balcony instead of in the flat. Adjustments are to be made by both individuals and partners.
Horrible roommate can be spotted by studying the habits of the person and the condition of how he/she is keeping the flat. If the room if filled by trash and garbage littering all around, or messy conditions.
