Ready to spread your wings and find a place of your own? Go for it! 💪 Unfortunately, that' s often financially tricky for a young professional.
Co-living has become quite popular over the last couple of years and is a fantastic solution to lower costs. Upliving also offers apartments with multiple rooms, an ideal option for co-living. The only condition: there has to be a match between you and your roomie, of course.
Everyone knows a horror story where things went completely wrong between two roommates. There can be many reasons for this, but of course you would rather avoid it. It is therefore best to discuss the following topics beforehand.
#1 LifestyleYou don't have to share the exact same lifestyle, but ideally there are quite a few similarities. Be sure to discuss some crucial things like pets, smoking, how much someone goes out or brings people home. All this information can prevent issues later on.
#2 Habits
It is important to know each other's habits.
Are you more of a morning person, but your roomie is a night owl? Then be aware that this can clash if you don't make proper agreements. Do you like to eat together in the evening? Then it's nice if your roomie is open to this as well. Be sure to get to know the other person's habits, that way you'll soon find out if you could live together.
#3 Order & cleanlinessThis topic often causes discussion. As to cleanliness, there are many different degrees. Do you like the dishes to be done after every meal or can they be left out for a few days? Does everything have to be neatly laid out or is it okay to have a little bit of chaos?
By asking the right questions, you'll soon find out whether you're a match or not. Download our questionnaire and find out all you need to know about your potential roomie in no time.
