@Taylor L. That article was very informative and helpful. Thanks!

I have decided to rent out my spare bedroom in my apartment, do i have to follow the Fair Housing laws (in SC) when people ask to move in? They will have to apply through my apartment but i would like to get someone near the same age and lifestyle that I am in. I dont care about race or orientation, just age and behaviors.

For instance; I am young and dont drink and dont have a problem with people who casually drink, but I dont want someone who is a wild party person to live with me or like 30 years my senior.

@Rob B. Thankfully, since its an apartment and not my own home, there are rules about who can live here and the apartment complex runs its own background check and they verify your income.

I am lease owner on a 3bed 2 ba apartment and am looking for another roommate. My brother lives with me and pays $500/mo for rent and I pay the rest (about $700/mo plus utilities). I want another roommate to join us and also pay $500/mo so I can start saving more money to buy a house. I know of craigslist for roommate searches but didnt know if there was any other place to look for roommates. Anybody got other ideas?
