Yes it crosses their minds, but they get over it considering.

Re: Need A 3rd Roommate In My House!
You have to treat a roommate like a tenant (legally they are anyway) and screen them. Background checks and credit reports are a must...though most people still don't do them. Ever since my brother got screwed a few years ago, I handle the business end with his roommates...they think that he rents the house from me.

As my brother described it to someone yesterday, I "find really bad people then make sure no one else ever does."
