Looking for the right roommate is a task that many see as hard and overwhelming. However, if you know your resources and how to use them right, the task should be manageable.

The easiest and safest way to find to find a reliable roommate is by asking for recommendations from close friends or family. If you have friends or family in Detroit, ask if they know someone who’s willing to share an apartment. This way, you know that the recommendation came from someone you trust.
If you are new to the city and don’t know anyone from who you can ask recommendations from, you can easily search online. Simply type in ‘how to find a roommate in Detroit’ in any search engine and you will automatically be presented with a myriad of options. There are several roommate-matching services online and you can easily browse through the ads of others like you who are looking for a roommate. You can also create and post your own ad. Remember to be specific and to be honest with your personal ad like if you prefer a male/female roommate, one who do not have pets, one who doesn’t smoke and so on. Being specific with your roommate requirements will not only remind you of what you personally want in a roommate, but there’s also a higher chance that your ad will match another ad easier.
Look for at least 3 potential roommates and contact them for interview. The interview part is the most important part of the process because first impressions say a lot about your future roommate. Treat this interview as part-job and part-casual, as your future relationship with this person will also be involving finances. Some questions you could ask are “Have you had experience living with a roommate in the past?”, “What is your job and what time do you leave for work?” and “How much stuff will you be moving into the apartment?”

If you are to live alone and won’t take much of the apartment’s space, it’s practical to share it with someone and be able to save tons of money. Another benefit is to have company when you get home from school or work. This is especially important when you have recently moved to Detroit and don’t know anybody yet.
