Do roommates come included?
As I've been apartment hunting, I've been looking for places with two or more bedrooms, so I can live in one and split the rent with those who live in the others. When I see a listing like this, how do I know how many of the rooms are already taken? It would be a shame to look at a place only to find out that no one is living in the other rooms. Do I need to assume that every apartment will be completely vacant, and treat roommate hunting as a completely separate process? If that's the case, then I can only assume that there's a difference between sites that show apartment listings posted by landlords and sites that show room listings posted roommates. What are some good sites to go to, and what's the best way of balancing these two searches?
