Hello!

This is off topic, but I have a question for everyone. I put an ad for a roommate in the paper, and have gotten replies. How much do people normally charge for deposits, additional rooms, deposits for animals? Do I have to go to a lawyer to get a renter's agreement written up? Any help would be appreciated.

Depends on alot of things, your better off googling it.

sure thing, northside! But my internet won't be back until tomorrow, so I'll give it to you then. (im still on my cell phone)

Thank you!
 
I did take it personally. I was taught to treat others how I want to be treated. I would never talk to anyone in that manner, it's downright disrespectful. If I were to talk to someone in that way, my mother would give me a good talking to. No matter how old I am. So, what is common history for this forum?

Honestly, if what he said upset you THAT much, you may not enjoy your time spent on internet forums. LOL

As for common history...it's full of trolls and morons, so people get their guard up pretty quickly on here.

Can you explain what trolls and morons are? Is there anything else, I should know?

A troll is someone who joins a forum just to be a pain in the ass. They try their best to stir shit up (and often succeed). We don't like them. :smt018 As for the definition of moron, umm...isn't that already universally known? Moron, idiot, imbecile.

As for anything else you should know?

  • Don't jump in too fast, too early.
  • Don't expect everyone to be nice.
  • Don't expect everyone to think like you.
  • Don't expect people to stick up for you, or take your side.
  • Know that people often get 'brave' when they're online, because no one knows who they really are...so they will act differently than they do in real life.
  • Tone of voice doesn't translate well via text, so don't jump to conclusions, about the meaning behind things, too early. AND use smiles and stuff in your post, if you need to, to let people know what your 'tone' is.

I think that's about it. :) LOL Reading back over that I can see that most people here, including myself, have either broken those guidelines/rules or done those things themselves. Hahahaha! Oh well. You asked. :)

Sin Mari's advice here should be included as a welcoming tutorial to all new posters. lol

First, Hi and welcome to the forum...

As to your questions, you need the maximum protection afforded you by the law. A contract that clearly outlines responsibilities and liabilities could save you a lot of aggravation later if your roommate turns out to be a problem.
 
Thank you for the advice, and the welcome. I hope all is going well with you. I will use your advice when I pick my roommate.
