They do not request proof. At least for me, when I joined SJSU & UCR’s Class of 2021 group, they didn’t ask for me for anything. SJSU’s group was public, but I had to request to join the UCR group. Once you get accepted, look into the posts and see if anyone has posted about finding a roommate off campus.

Make sure that you and your roommate(s) are compatible. For example, you want to talk to them about your cleanliness, hygiene, whether you’ll be in the apartment for a prolonged time (ex. if you’re on break and you want to visit home for a few weeks, or if you want to stay at the apartment)
I’m guessing these are just the basic questions to ask because it makes the most sense. For example, let’s say once your lease term ends, you want to move out to a cheaper apartment or a better apartment nearby. That means whoever moves out of the apartment last will have to clean out the apartment, make sure there’s no damage and repairs to be done, etc. Sometimes, finding a good roommmate is hard because they just don’t involve themselves to those rules, but for the most part, I haven’t heard of any crazy horror stories about apartment roommates.

Also, this is kind of a weird thing to say and it might make you uncomfortable, but make sure that your roommate(s) who are in a relationship (if they are in one) knows when to get intimate with their significant other. Basically, make sure you talk to them and place an emphasis about whether you guys want to let each other bring in visitors or not. Whether those people are your roommates’ significant other or other friends of their own, talk to your roommate(s) and see if you guys are willing to let each other bring in visitors during certain times of the week/day.

I’m not even in college so I might not have stated everything I know or heard from others, so I might be missing out on a few points.

And yeah, it’s extremely difficult to find an apartment nearby for $500. What’s your maximum budget for housing per month? If you can find a roommate, would that $500 go up to $1000? Or are you trying to find a place at $500 for 2 people?
