If one needs a house desperately and is on a budget, having a share house may be the best alternative. Sharing a house is better in many ways. First, it removes loneliness of living alone. Secondly, it reduces the burden of paying rent on your own. If you're new in a city, it's a tough job to find the right kind of accommodation. In such a case, renting a house is the best alternative available.
The share house phenomenon can be seen in many parts of the world. In recent times of recession, this phenomenon was on a rise. The reason for that was, due to recession, the income of people was affected. As a result, they were having a tough time paying the rent for their respective homes. The only option left for such people was to share the room and accommodation. However, sharing of a room cannot be done with a complete stranger. Wherever possible, preference should be given to a friend or a person, whom you know, when it comes to sharing an accommodation. Apart from that preference should be given to share accommodation with people who speak your language or those who are from the same city or country.
But in extreme conditions, if you're not able to find any friend available for room sharing, a complete background check should be done against your roommate. In an unknown city, anything can happen if you choose a wrong person to live with. There are many people around who are associated with underworld and are drug addicts and alcoholics. You surely don't want such a person as your roommate.
So, before selecting a person as your room partner or roommate, always do a complete profile check of the individual. This will not only ensure that the person is not a criminal, but will also give you a sense of security. The personality check can be carried out by visiting a local police station and checking out the records of the person online using various criminal records websites.
