What’s the best way to go about getting a good deal on an apartment?

Also, how do you find a roommate that’s not an ass?

I lived in Philly in 2015 near Temple. Roommates were found on facebook and mostly on drugs, never cleaned up, and didn’t pay the utilities. I’m trying to avoid that!

Any tips?

I lived there for a year a long time ago (so probably not relevant) and what I did is post a listing for roommates at a lesbo bar and had some of the most awesome roommates ever.

Well I’m not sure as a straight white guy that I would have the same level of success lol but that sounds like a great situation
