Finding A Roomate
Review by terri2 on 2011-04-02
This site hides fine print and then charges your card like 37.00 dollars. The site contains mostly POSTINGS OF STUDENTS young folks who are very judgmental about a persons age most ads for a rooomate were people 18 to 30 saying they only want the same or for you to be a student or they won't rent to you.

There was hardly any renters that would accept you unless you were under 30 I saw mainly looking for other students or between 18 to 23 and many posters not accepting anyone over 30 they all wanted YOUNG, YOUNG DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. THERE WERE ONLY A VERY FEW I SAW 1 OR 2 OVER 39 THE MAJORITY WILL NOT accept you unless your under 30.

Don't they know that AGE IS ONLY A 45 IS YOUNG AND THEY WILL BE THERE SOON ENOUGH.

Of course age is just a number but I don't know too many 18 year olds or even 25 year olds who would want to live with a 45 year old. At the same time, I don't even know many 45 year olds who would want to live with 20 year olds.

Good review, though.

I concur with momsey. Most of those looking for roomate sites are for younger people, who cannot pay the rent on their own yet, so it's easier for them to split it with others who are in the same age group.

As for the fine print, if they are hiding it, how do you know it exists and what does the fine print say?

Most younger (and older) people prefer to be roommates with somebody at or close to their age. Hopefully you can get your fee refunded, or find somebody who would be a compatible roommate. It can be hard.
