It’s almost time to move in. But before you do, ask a potential roommate these questions first:

Do you smoke? If you’re like most people, you view smoking as a nuisance that’s hard to mask. It irritates the lungs and leaves behind a residue that requires a lot of cleaning. If it bothers you, be sure to ask.
Are you a party animal? Ask your potential roommate if they love to party. If they do, it could lead to a rush of overnight visitors, loud music and beer.
How are your finances? You should know if your roommate is responsible enough to stick around to pay the bills on time. If they jump around or don’t have a dependable job, it’s time to move on.

Save yourself the hassle and trouble of kicking out your roommate down the road. Getting things straightened out now will keep you both on the same page. Go ahead, ask the important questions. It will weed out candidates who aren’t a good fit and line you up with the perfect roomie.
