How To Make Sure Your New Roommate Will Uphold Their Financial Obligations

How can I make sure my new roommate will uphold their financial obligations?

How do you enforce the rules? Hopefully you don't have to! Hopefully you have picked the right person, and they're mature and responsible. If they don't follow the rules, I had them sign a month-to-month agreement, and I give them a three day notice that you're going to cease-and-desist this activity. Let's say it's smoking for instance - if they don't, I give them a thirty day notice, and they're out of here. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts! Everybody signed this agreement, all of us in the household! It's not just me and the roommate, it's me, the roommate and the other roommate! It's a team, and you have to work together.
