15 Important Questions To Ask A Potential Roommate

- By

Do you mind if I call your old roommates/landlord?

You may never do it. You may not even be allowed to, depending on laws where you are. But you are certainly allowed to ask, “Would you mind if I spoke to your old roommate or landlord?” Just seeing their reaction to that possibility can be very telling. Ideally, you want someone who says, without hesitation, “Of course! That’s no problem.” If they don’t want you to, hopefully, they’re comfortable sharing the details as to why that is so you can determine if it was them or the other party who misbehaved in the living situationship. If they say, “I prefer you didn’t” and won’t say why, that should give you pause.
