Tips:

Because your landlord will probably check your prospective roommate's credit history, ask your prospective roommate to provide your landlord with a copy of his or her credit report to save time during rental application process.

If your landlord increases rent for you and your new roommate, try to negotiate amount of increase with a lower counteroffer.

Warnings:

Some state and municipal rent control laws limit increases in rent and security deposits; check with local housing authorities about rent control laws in your area in order to protect your best interests.

DAN THE ROOMMATE

A person can only hold their anger in for so long. After a few months, you and your best friend, who you cherished most at one time, will soon be at each other’s throats constantly. They'll end up moving out, leaving you with bad credit because of their late payments. Most likely you'll be forced to move back in with your parents, not only losing your freedom once again, but you'll be losing a great friend as well.

If you want my advice, I'd stay home as long as you can. If that isn't possible, move in with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Get feel of marriage life if you'd like. After all, everyone knows that lovers come and go, but friends SHOULD last a lifetime.

I'm sure everyone has seen scenario on TV and in movies. Your roommate is party animal, while you on other hand, have your nose in books. That can really happen. Your friend could have tons of people over helping themselves to your stashes of food and listening to loud music while you're in back room trying to study for exams next day.
