Finding the ideal flatmate can be a nightmare. Living with your best friend can spoil your friendship, and that guy your work colleague recommended to you might look good at first but it can be a bit of a bust. That's why it's important to get to know your potential flatmate through a short interview. But what to ask him or her? Here we have 10 questions that you can't forget, and that will make your search much easier. We wish you the best of luck!

Ask about their daily routine. The routine of someone who works is not the same as the routine of someone who studies. Ask them what time their alarm clock goes off, what time they usually go to bed and what they do in the evenings. If their rhythm of life is not the same as yours, it may be that you don't get along.

Parties, visits and weekends. At this point it is very important to use subtlety. Do you like the atmosphere at home? This can be a perfect question to find out whether or not your home could be turned into a nightclub. Once you've asked it, you can bring it up... How often do you invite your friends over? It's also important to find out whether or not they have a partner, as it can be very awkward if they spend more time at your house than at theirs.

Smoking and smoking.

If you don't smoke and you don't mind sharing a flat with a smoker, great! But if you don't, it's very important that you don't miss this question.

Invoices and payments

We all know that talking about money can be a bit embarrassing, but going through that moment can save you a lot of headaches in the future. Tell your future flatmate what your expectations are when it comes to bills. If he or she balks or thinks it's a high price, it's not the right price.

Cleanliness

This is the most contentious issue when sharing a flat. Setting a schedule seems like a simple solution, but keeping to it is the hardest part. That's why once again we recommend you use subtlety and ask how often you clean or if you'd be willing to hire a professional service.
