I’ve been thinking about how broken the flatmate search process still is.

Everything seems to revolve around price and location, but the stuff that actually makes or breaks a share house is things like:

• cleanliness
• sleep schedules
• working from home
• how people deal with conflict
• how social the house is

I’ve had (and heard plenty of) situations where people looked like a good fit on paper but were completely incompatible day to day.

Curious how others approach this:

• What’s the biggest thing that’s gone wrong in a share house for you?
• What would you actually want to know about someone before moving in?

I’ve been working on a small project around this idea, but honestly just trying to figure out if others feel the same pain.
