For people currently looking for roommates, how are you finding them?

I’ve noticed a lot of posts where people just match based on availability and hope it works out, but lifestyle differences (cleanliness, sleep schedule, etc.) usually end up being the biggest issue.

I’m working on something that matches people based on compatibility instead of randomness. Not promoting anything yet, just trying to understand what people actually care about when choosing a roommate.

What are your biggest dealbreakers? As a question if anything... any advice would be appreciated!

Anyone else feel like finding a good roommate is kinda just luck and more time to find a better one?

I’ve been seeing a lot of people either end up with super mismatched roommates (clean vs messy, quiet vs loud, different schedules, etc.) or stressing trying to find someone that they actually like.

I’m working on something that helps matches people based on lifestyle, budget, and habits instead of just whoever’s available. Not launching anything yet, just wanted to see if people here would actually use something like that for the next lease cycle.

Curious what matters most to you when picking a roommate?
