How to find the right roommate

Erik J. Martin did an article about what experts recommend when they give advice about how to find the right roommate.

How to find the right roommate

. . . “ask questions about compatibility, tidiness, noise, personal belongings, overnight visitors allowed, and what will happen if the rent is not paid,” says Josh Rosenthal, owner of MoveIn.Space, a Washington, D.C.-based company that helps renters prepare to move and manage walk-through inspections, who also recommends asking for and contacting references they provide.

Time Saving Tools

MoveIn.Space

MoveIn.Space/walkthrough is a walkthrough management tool that is free and simple to use. It increases agreement between landlords and tenants by proving “it was like that at move-in”.
Set-up is easy.

  1. Go to MoveIn.Space/walkthrough on your cell phone or tablet
  2. Enter your house, housemates, and/or the landlord
  3. Take pictures and add descriptions, model numbers, tags, etc.
  4. Submit and everyone gets access to a copy of the report on the cloud, and a reminder later to do a move-out inspection

Paper checklists lack detail and are difficult to keep track of.
Pictures lack detail and are tough to timestamp.
Both are one-sided.

MoveIn.Space/walkthrough makes consistency, detail, and context equally accessible to everyone.
