Find Flatmates in Oxley

Are you searching for a new roommate to join your shared apartment? In the Oxley Flatmates category you can easily connect with people looking for a room available for rent. Browse listings in your area and reach out to people who sound like a right fit for your shared space. On the other hand, if you are looking for a place to rent, it’s a good idea to post an ad here and include a short bio about yourself and what kind of living arrangements you are looking for. Once you post an ad, you can also check the Rooms for Rent category to browse listings there.

What information to include in your roommate bio:

When creating an ad, it’s important to use the description section to talk about yourself and your desired living situation. The higher your ad’s quality, the more likely you are to get contacted by the right people. Here is everything you should include in your ad:

• A short bio of yourself: introducing yourself by your first name and including a picture will make your ad more inviting. Adding details like your age and occupation or if you’re a student could also be a good way to connect with similar people.
• Your desired accommodation: It’s important to be clear about what you want. Would you prefer to live in a house or an apartment? Are you willing to share a room? Are you looking for something furnished or unfurnished?
• Your ideal location: If there’s a specific neighbourhood you want to live in or near you should specify that.
• Your budget: How much would you ideally like to spend on rent monthly? If you are flexible you can provide a range.
• Your ideal living situation and roommate: To make sure you and your potential roommate are on the same page, be clear about what you want. Do you expect to have a strict cleaning schedule, are you against having guests over? Be honest about how much you want to interact with your roommate and how you would like to share the space.

Best questions to ask potential roommates:

If you have an available room in your shared apartment, it’s best to post an ad in the Rooms for Rent category so interested people can find your ad and get in contact with you! But browsing this category is also a great way to find a potential roommate. Just select your location to see relevant ads near you. When you find someone that you could envision living with, message them and consider setting up a call or video chat to get to know each other better. Here are some of the best questions to ask someone before moving in together:

• What is your daily routine?
• Are you more of an early bird or a night owl?
• Would you consider yourself to be a neat person or are you typically messy?
• Have you lived in a shared space before? Did you ever encounter issues with previous roommates?
• Do you have any pets or what is your opinion on living with pets?
• Do you like the decor in the shared spaces? Do you have a lot of furniture you would bring in?
• How would you like to go about cleaning and sharing responsibilities in the house?
• How often do you cook? Would you be interested in sharing groceries or cooking together or would you rather keep everything separate?

These are just a few examples of great questions that will help you get to know a potential roommate. Make sure you answer these questions as well so that both of you can learn about each other and see if you will be compatible roommates.
