Sharing Housing: A Guidebook for Finding and Keeping Good Housemates   

Shared housing-- It s not just for graduate students anymore. In fact, these days all kinds and all ages of people are coming together to form alternative households. It makes sense in terms of environmental sustainability, the economy, and in terms of personal well-being.  It s no surprise, according to National Public Radio, that 15.4 million Americans lived in multi-family households last year, an increase of 11.6 percent since 2008.

But while finding roommates or finding established households to move into is easy for graduate students, the process can be daunting for others. Where do you advertise rooms for rent? What questions should you ask a potential housemate? How will you share household chores? What do you do if a living situation isn t working out? Annamarie Pluhar s book provides a practical how-to for retiring boomers, millionaires, single parents, senior citizens, twentysomethings and professionals in every walk of life who can benefit from sharing the cost of a roof.
