I'm mildly surprised that it took this long for Billy Joel's "Moving Out" to get stuck in my head.

Do NOT Boink your roommate's girlfriend, sister, mother or for that matter your roommate. And yes oral sex counts.

Do not get a credit card
Getting one, but with a 1000 dollar limit for emergencies(to be locked in my room as I am most careful with money out of the three of us)

Get all the utilities in the other person's name. That's the big key
Utilities are all-inclusive, which means we don't pay for the utilities, the landlady does. Some of the money from our rent I assume goes to our utilities.

My biggest tip is to bring your own bed lol. No way am I sleeping in that bed that was left in your room from the drunks downstairs.
I'm actually going to replace the top mattress and run a carpet cleaner over the box spring, I'm not giving up a free king size bed.

One last thing, if you haven't yet, set out a dry-erase board or something and sit down and discuss house rules. When payments are expected in advance of due dates,who cleans what, individual or group grocery shopping, etc
House rules:
Payments will be made every payday and kept in my room until the day we pay the landlady
************ of our "friends") has a permanent ban from the house
Shopping will be done by all three of us at one time so that we get what we need and that we like.
cleaning will alternate during the week
guests shall pay to eat my food and should bring their own booze

Bring a set of screwdrivers and a pair of scissors
Forgot about stuff like that, thanks.

If someone asks if they can sleep on your floor/couch for a few days, say NO. They'll never leave.
Only a few select people will be allowed to stay over.

Take pictures of the place before you move in so that when the time comes for you to move out they dont blame you for the yellow stained tile that was there when you moved in.
Going through wiht a video camera the day we are officially allowed to move in.
Our internet will be DSL, there's already the DSL hookup in the place.

This is a similar situation to the place I used to live, the "frathouse" as we call it. Top two floors of a house, the bottom occupied by a old, drunk couple who wouldn't care or notice if we burned the whole block down around them. It's four guys, four bedrooms, two bathrooms. Usually works out all right, except for things like psycho ex-girlfriends leaving 10 pounds of rock salt on our doorstep, or someone getting fired and not paying rent all summer...you know, regular sh[black][/black]it.
I'm going to be moving back there soon, for a few weeks anyways, to crash on the couch while my girl and I get re-settled.
Oh yeah, for advice...like stated, make at least some basic rules, organize financial matters, etc. And also try to be a bit lenient with their issues.

The first and foremost rule is:
Be prepared to no longer be friends with at least one of these persons by the time you move out. The longer you have known the person the more likely you won't get along with them at the end. At the very minimum you will have a healthy direspect for one of them.
This will happen. Trust me.
Most of the others have been covered.
- Keep food in your room
- lock on the door
etc.
I did a 3 bedroom 2 story condo in Thunderbay with 4 of us, all going to Lakehead. Wasn't a horror story or anything but when I moved out of T-bay I made sure I had a bachelor pad and lived on my own for 2 years before my girlfriend strong armed me into moving in with her, and the only reason I agreed to that was because she rubbed my back before asking and I was pliable.

Try to immediately build an alliance with one of your roommates so that when it comes time to vote one off, you'll be safe. Don't have sex with anyone though, you'll become a target.

If it deals with sleeping in a bed that is already there, don't. That's f'ing disgusting.
Secondedededed.
Knowing me, I probably wouldn't even keep the box spring. The metal frame, maybe.
The matress would get junked. That's beyond certain.
Strikes way to many levels of creepy/yuck to use someone else's most likely poorly maintained matress, in my book.
