Trust your gut before you sign

Most bad roommate situations are visible early if you ask direct questions and watch for patterns. Here are ten common red flags.

Vague answers about sleep schedule, cleaning, or guests
Pressure to decide or pay within 24 hours
No identity verification on the platform you met on
Rent far below market with no clear explanation
Refusal to introduce you to other flatmates
Conflicting stories about why the last roommate left
Disrespect for boundaries in early messages
Heavy substance use indoors when you need a non-smoking home
Expecting you to cover their share “just for the first month”
Anything that feels off — document it and walk away
