Meet the prospective roommate prior to signing the lease to make sure you are compatible
Figure out your likes, dislikes, priorities and what you are willing to compromise
Discuss all expenses and how you will share them equally
Here are a few things to consider prior to signing the lease:
Safety: make sure all door and entrances shut and lock properly and visit the area at night to ensure that it is well lit and secure. For more safety tips contact the Salisbury Police Department.
Term of Lease: consider the length of the lease and what notice is required to terminate the lease and make sure the lease is legitimate by having someone knowledgeable look over it with you.
Renters Insurance: protect your belongings by looking into companies that provide renters insurance.
Before moving in set up all services and utilities that will be needed. Make sure you contact local utility companies at least two weeks in advance to get services turned on.
