Lots of potentially threatening options and just a few good ones. We\u2019ve all heard the horror stories of friends and families drawing the short straw when it comes to bad roommates\u2014dirty, messy, rude, [fill in the blank].<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And, while the chances of a legitimate horror story are slim, the chances of you rooming with a below-average roommate are pretty high.

So, in this post, we\u2019re going to help you improve your chances by explaining all of our tips for finding a roommate on Craigslist.

Fortunately, it\u2019s pretty easy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Start by Visiting the Craigslist home page and click \u201cPost to Classifieds\u201d in the top left corner of the page. You will be asked which category you want to post in \u2013\u2013 choose either \u201chousing offered\u201d or \u201chousing wanted\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>From there, enter all the details for your post and hit \u201cContinue\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You will then need to upload photos from your mobile phone or computer. Once you are happy with the images that you\u2019ve uploaded, hit \u201cDone with images\u201d. And, then hit \u201cPublish\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Lastly, you will receive an email with a confirmation link from Craigslist\u2026 click the confirmation link or copy and paste it into your browser. You should expect your Craigslist ad to go live about 15 minutes after confirmation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Sweat the small stuff.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When looking for a roommate, make sure you are paying attention to the details. How much time and care have they put into their ad? Are the pictures crisp? Are there a bunch of typos? Have they been specific about what they want in a roommate?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Someone who has put a lot of time and energy into constructing their ad is more likely to make a solid roommate than someone who hasn\u2019t. Don\u2019t allow the pressure to find a roommate cause you to make a bad roommate decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Look for shared interests.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This may seem like a no-brainer. But your roommate doesn\u2019t just have to be the tolerable\u00a0guy\/girl that you share a space with and that\u2019s it. If you\u2019re willing to be choosy and take your time, you could end up <a href=\"\/blog\/make-friends-in-new-city\/\">making a great friend<\/a> in your roommate. Sharing a space together is, after all, sharing a pretty big part of your life. Why not make sure that you will actually have some things to talk about and do with your roommate?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Ask if you can use the bathroom.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you find a place and a person that you mesh well with, take an hour to meet up and see their place. When you do, ask if you can use the bathroom. While this may sound odd, the bathroom is a great peek into how clean and tidy they keep their apartment. If the bathroom is disgusting, chances are, they don\u2019t do much tidying up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to quickly gauge how clean your potential roommate is, always check the bathroom(s).<\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-718638845\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Find_a_Roommate_on_Craigslist_Safely\"><\/span>How to Find a Roommate on Craigslist Safely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s important\u00a0 to touch on how to find a roommate on Craigslist safely. While Craigslist is a great tool, like any roommate finder, you need to be careful and you need be safe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Never meet up at someone\u2019s apartment alone. Always take a friend and always have your phone fully charged before heading over. Also, a good rule of thumb is to always meet at a public place first. Grab a cup of coffee and feel out the person before you agree to see their place. If you don\u2019t like the person, there is no reason to see their apartment anyways.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Lastly, always trust your gut. If something doesn\u2019t feel right about a place or person\u2026 it\u2019s not\u2026 plain and simple.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As long as you use common sense and are safe about looking for a roommate on Craigslist, it can be one of the best tools out there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Find_Roommates_Online_Besides_Craigslist\"><\/span>Where to Find Roommates Online (Besides Craigslist)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We\u2019ve already given you our tips for finding a roommate on Craigslist, and we think it may be the best way to find a roommate, but we want to share with you a few other options where you can find a roommate besides Craigslist.
