Before You Move In Together: Essential Checklist

Don't sign a lease until you've had these conversations with your future roommate.

Finances: Agree on rent split, how utilities will be handled, and what happens if someone can't pay.

Lifestyle: Discuss sleep schedules, work-from-home needs, social habits, and cleanliness standards.

Logistics: Who's on the lease? Whose name is on utilities? How will shared purchases work?
