I'm getting a new roommate. She's a good person. I've known her for about a year and 1/2. I've got a one bedroom flat w/ an extra futon stored in the living room.
I think it can work. She's offered to pay her share, but can't afford her own place for awhile. She's coming w/ her bags packed, in the morning. In all likelihood, it will be for 6 months. So I'm laying down some ground rules. Thus, the reason for this post.
A little about me:
I'm a very private person. I don't like people pawing through my things. I'm pretty neat, and don't mind cleaning up and cooking, if i feel respected. The flat has the bathroom and bedroom in a separate area, but the bedroom is has it's own door. So I can hibernate when I need to. I keep a good stock of fresh veggies and meats, mostly b/c of my dog, who demands them. lol. I've had roommates before, but not here, and had very good luck, except with my last roommate's girlfriend who robbed me blind several times due to greed and drug addiction i guess. Who knows what her motives are. (He and I remain friends.) She's a thief and doesn't have my current address. . anyways, somehow i'm still on speaking terms w/ her. Barely.
If you have any ideas for good rules regarding rent, food, sleeping, company, keys, cleaning, etc., please share! Please!!!
