<p>I would recommend against this. I would not consider a house with more than 3 roommates… Too much drama… If each of you bring 10 friends home OMG>…</p>
<p>Make sure your roommates are responsible… bottom line they don’t do illegal stuff that put you at risk (torrenting, smoking pot in public area, stealing your stuff…) and they pay the rent on time…</p>
<p>A background check probably won’t help your too much… btw is it illegal? I think what you get from a background check are mostly public information</p>
<p>@Thereisnosecret: if you have the resouces to run these checks, why not just get a one br apartment?</p>
