20 Questions to Ask Your Potential Flatmate (Before You Regret Everything Later)

You matched. You chatted. You’re considering moving in together.

But wait… before you decide to share your walls, WiFi, and worst moods—ask these 20 questions. Because forgetting to ask “Do you wash your own dishes?” is how great roomies turn into passive-aggressive legends on the group chat.

This is Homies’ Official Flatmate Compatibility Quiz. Except there are no wrong answers—just warning signs.

Whether you’re on the hunt for flatmates in Delhi NCR, PG alternatives in Mumbai, or shared flats in Bangalore, these questions will save your rent, sanity, and your last slice of pizza.

👯 FLATMATE VIBE CHECK

1. Do you like chatting with your flatmates or prefer keeping to yourself?
Translation: Are we going to be Netflix buddies or awkward bathroom nodders?

2. Are you an early bird, night owl, or just permanently exhausted pigeon?
Sync your sleep cycles before someone’s blender becomes your 7AM alarm.

3. How often do you like hosting people over?
One person’s get-together is another’s house invasion.

4. What’s your go-to de-stress activity at home?
Because blasting Punjabi beats at 2AM is someone’s form of therapy.

5. What’s your current obsession: K-dramas, finance podcasts, or protein shakes?
Common interests = fewer fights over what’s on the TV.

🧽 HOUSEHOLD & HABITUAL HELL

6. How do you handle chores—roster, magic, or maid?
If “the maid will do it” is the only answer… run.

7. What’s your idea of a clean kitchen?
Spotless, or “not on fire = clean enough”?

8. Do you label your stuff in the fridge?
Because the “I thought that biryani was for everyone” debate has ended friendships.

9. Are you cool with splitting costs evenly or pay-as-you-use?
Discuss money now or watch friendship burn later.

10. How long are your bathroom breaks?
Asking for a friend who needs the loo at 9:01 sharp.

🪔 LIFESTYLE & LIVING DRAMA

11. Are you veg, non-veg, eggetarian, or full-blown food anarchist?
Diet clashes cause more fights than unpaid bills.

12. Do you smoke, drink, or throw theme parties every Thursday?
Some like silence. Some like tequila. Know where you stand.

13. Pets: love them, allergic, or secretly plotting against them?
Don’t find out after you’ve already signed the rent agreement.

14. Do you cook often or swear by Zomato loyalty points?
Because gas bills and grocery shopping can’t be surprise exams.

15. Do you believe in house rules? Or in vibes?
If someone says “vibe is the rule,” prepare for chaos.

🔐 TRUST, BOUNDARIES & OTHER EMOTIONS

16. What’s one thing that drives you crazy in a roommate?
Bonus if they describe your exact behavior. 😂

17. Have you ever ghosted a roommate or been ghosted by one?
Red flag alert. 🚩

18. What’s your ideal way to resolve conflicts? Talk it out or Cold War 2.0?
We prefer words over WhatsApp shade posts.

19. Are you okay with sharing Wi-Fi passwords but not passwords to your heart?
Just checking.

20. How long do you plan to stay?
Because “I’m moving to Bali in a month” isn’t a good look post-deposit.
