Answer 1

Depending on the amount of time you have you can meet with these people more than once. Have a questionaer for them to fill out. LEt people know ahead of time about doing there part in cleaning the place up and keeping it that way. Have them sign a "will not be a slob" contract.

Answer 3

maybe friend you know or classmates you know. other wise offer the rooms to people on a probation period. like 2 months that way if it doesn't work, you can kick them to the curb. make sure you inform all parties of the house rules like cleaning ,food parties etc.

Answer 4

First, make sure you know yourself. Different people have had various effects on my level of cleanliness, because I respect the standards they have.
Different people have gotten more calls home when I was to be late, out of courtesy, because the situations presented to me required certain levels of involvement.
You can teach quite a few people how to treat you and your home.
Are you up to it?

Answer 5

Get references and check them before making a decision. If possible, try to get work references, employers are more honest than friend/family references.
