Questions to ask potential flatmates

   What are you seeking from a flatmate ?
  Have you ever had a flatmate before?
 What, if anything, bothered you about your flatmates?
   What do you like to do socially?
         Do you play any sport or belong to any clubs or teams?
         Where did you go to school?
         Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend or other friend who will be staying here frequently?
         Overnight guests - this is an important thing to plan ahead for - especially if your place is rather small. There's nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable in your own apartment if your roommate has frequent guests, friends or family popping in or staying over - especially if they empty the fridge or commandeer the TV remote!
         Borrowing: does it bother you or could you just not care less? This includes not just clothing but computer or computer time, books, etc.
         Pets? If you don't like pets or are allergic or like some pets but not others make it known right out.
         Do you smoke? Drink? Do drugs? If yes to any, how often?
         Do you stay out late on weekdays?
         What is your occupation? What hours do you work?
         Did/do you have any credit problems? You need to know whether they can afford to pay the rent.
         What do you like to watch on television?
         What music do you listen to?
         Do you study?

         Do you have any unusual habits?
