September 10, 2025

Finding the right roommate can make or break your living experience. Here are essential tips to help you find a compatible roommate:

1. Define Your Priorities

Before starting your search, determine what's most important to you in a roommate - cleanliness, noise levels, lifestyle habits, etc.

2. Use Verified Platforms

Platforms like RoomWala verify user profiles, reducing the risk of incompatible matches.

3. Meet in Person

Always meet potential roommates face-to-face to assess compatibility and communication style.

4. Discuss Expectations

Talk about house rules, cleaning schedules, guests, and financial responsibilities upfront.

5. Check References

Ask for references from previous roommates or landlords to verify their reliability.

6. Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off during your interactions, trust your gut feeling.

Creating a roommate agreement can help prevent conflicts and ensure everyone is on the same page.
