As much as we love a good roommate story, we almost love a bad roommate story more. If you’re willing to share (and change names to protect the moderately guilty), we’d love to hear about it. Go on over to our FB page (and like us while you’re there!), or tweet us at @renthop. (You can, of course, email us at feedback@renthop.com – we’d love to hear from you.) The winner gets a fantastic RentHop shirt!
Let us know if you roommate story occurs in a small town, or a city like New York City. How long have you been living with the person or people, and what was the big event that turned the situation sour? In our experiences, a bad roommate sitaution typically turns into a nightmare roommate situation after some inflammatory action.
Now, we don’t to turn you off from renting an apartment with roommates. In most cases, this is a cost-effective way to rent an apartment and build your rental history. You can either go into an apartment with an existing group of friends, or use roommate-matching services to find an opening in a current unit. Some real estate agents will help you find a room in an open apartment.
