any good/bad experiences with roommates?

I need roommate

can I kick him/her out? I feel like I am obligated to have a long term contract or something, otherwise the person would be in trouble. I don't want him/her to face a situation to find another apt urgently in the middle of the year...

city center, i am thinking of 5K but not sure, i have a post about it if you are interested

Is that a "Beautiful room" mate ?

or

Beautiful "Room mate" ?

lucky you LP!

when they're yelling as youre sleeoinggggg!!

I have a beautiful room mate, and we mate in the room. No problem.

Set the ground rules and see that all the do's and dont's are understood by the new Room Mate.

BTW which area and what is the rent?

Besides sharing lungis, trying to act busy and unavailable when cleaning and tidying up has to be done in the room but right on time when free food or sweets are to be shared, excuses and regular delays when his part of the rent is due, has bad stories and gossip about others but never himself and the list just goes on and on...

make sure you find someone that has the same ideas as you. I would suggest going out and relaxing over dinner and chatting.

My housemate and I get on well. I found her through a friend of mine. She is the same nationality as me. She works for Qatar Airways in a management position, so she travels alot... which is a bonus as we both get our space.

You must have the same or similar out look to life... or you will be butting heads constantly.

My room mate is going, now i think will i get the new room mate same like him , he was a good human being offcource.

Just make sure they like/dislike the same food as you.

I wish i could change here for another one,, she drives me up the wall,,,, i cant stand her

If it is to save some money...doesnt matter..however you can define the ground rules in the beginning itself with the notice period for kick out option...:)

If it is for the sake of company...DON'T DO IT.

P.S.: Above options applicable for Male roommate only...:)

Don't do it!!!!! If you find a Westerner like yourself maybe. Or if you know and like the person before you move in together, that could be cool.

I lived with someone from a different culture and when it was just us within the four walls of a fairly spacious apartment, it was like each individual culture was fighting for domination with no middle ground. That didn't make for the laid back, bohemian, respectful atmosphere I had hoped for. I say Don't do it!!!

In that case .. use your roomate's 'Tide' & wash it alongwith his pillow cover before gifting it back to roommate permanently ..

You crazy caped crusader..

The easiest way to avoid such mishaps is to forego the underwear and just wear a lungi :O)

I understand , it brings some monetary benefit among others .. but how the location has any relation with painful events if any ?

When roommate borrows your underwear& returns it back next day, remember: "yellow" in the front and "brown" in the back

painful, when you share a room in Doha Jadeed :O(

Anyway, to the OP..

Do your homework and make sure you can put up with each other.. Good Luck!

you won't have a privacy - when you need it.

When roommate borrows your underwear ... & returns it back next day.

Lots of good experiences. Good times. Fun times. painful times ..
