I just finalized the paperwork on getting a 2 bdrm/2bath apartment and need to start looking for a roommate that can move in with me, once I get the keys. The apartment is pretty nice, and it will be A LOT cheaper than renting by myself, plus the living quarters are twice as big, and I won't have to come home to an silent/lonely place anymore either. My problem is...finding a good roommate is harder than I expected! I don't know anyone that's looking for a place, that I can actually trust. I'm thinking about posting an add....say on craigslist or roommates.com . I will only live with another female, around my age. And of course I'd have her sign all the necessary documents, ensuring that rent is paid and protecting my butt from everything else that may happen. My question is...is it a bad idea to post an add for a roommate, because essentially this person is a stranger? I'm a little nervouse about it, but I don't have any other options.
Any ideas/opinions/suggestions?? Thanks!
