You should also check with your landlord if the acceptance of a room mate is allowed and if you do not have to pay extra or lose some provisions of your contract. Have the contract amended if you have one to include the details of your sharing space and the amounts of liabilities you are both to share. If you get a room mate on your own, that may fall under a sub-lease and many owners do not allow such practices. If the owner does agree, have them talk to your prospect room mate first before making any commitments so you avoid disappointment for you both.
