I live with three mates from school and have done for the past three years. One of them is moving away for work and we are looking at getting in a girl as a housemate

Anyone ever got in a chick as a housemate and its turned out to be good?

I guess it CAN be good, but there are some risks you don't have with male roommates. For one thing she can start bringing her slug jobless boyfriend, or 6'3" cage fighter, over and if you bitch you look like a jealous loser.

One thing I left out of list linked below which you might want is noise rules. I for one thing prefer all noise should be contained in your room after ( 11, 12 whatever you want.) That means it is inaudible after that time outside of the room. A lot of computer and stereos now have sub-woofers which penetrate much better than older speakers and someone can say "It's not loud" but it can still bug the shit out of you. A simple rule like "if it can be heard outside of your room it's too loud" is simple to test for. Ask them to come outside their room, close the door, and if it can be heard, it's too loud. No subjectivity.


I have a post somewhere...with full psycho-babble detail.

Some other details--

In particular I hate cigarettes, and all smokers will try to make the excuse that they'll only smoke outside, it also shows poor planning for the future and impulse control. They'll want to stand there in an open door smoking and talking so they don't have to be alone. Cats show she's nuts.

All these things can CHANGE too, so it's best to set whatever rules you want to have as HOUSE rules, not just a screening she has to pass when she moves in. In other words, she can't start smoking once she moves in even if she didn't smoke before, because it's a non-smoking house.

When her bestie needs her cat taken care of, she can't bring the cat because even though she doesn't "own a cat," it's a no-pets household.
