Finding a roommate
There are so many people in the world looking to share a home with someone else. Online roommate finders are web-based tools that help match roommate seekers. Go in with an open mind and keep an eye out for red flags and rental scams.
spareroom
SpareRoom matches people who need housing. With Spareroom you have the extra option of “buddy ups”. This is where you can find other people searching for a new lease. So rather than searching for a spare room in an existing house, you can also build a roommate situation from scratch with other like-minded people.
craigslist
When it comes to finding a roommate, the world’s largest online classified section is a good place to start. When using Craigslist it’s important to do your research when finding a roommate. It’s a good idea to meet with any potential roommates in person and in public at least once before signing any documents.
Padmapper
PadMapper makes it easy to find apartments in a particular neighborhood or even on a particular block. If you already have an apartment or house and are looking for a roommate to fill one of your rooms, download the free Padmapper app for Android or iOS and select the “Post” tab to create a listing.
