There are a few different benefits that come with living in an apartment with roommates. In addition to cutting down on some of the expenses that come with the rent and utilities, you will find that this roommate is another person who can help get some of the chores done so it won’t all fall to you. But one thing that you need to hammer out the details about the moment that you want to move in with one another. This will help you be on the same page and can avoid some issues along the way.

 

A good way to do this is to figure out which chores that everyone despises doing. You can make a list of the chores that you do not like and then see which ones your roommates do not like to do either. Then swap them out and take turns doing them. Maybe you do not like to clean up the kitchen, but you don’t mind doing the bathroom. If you have a roommate who doesn’t like the bathroom, then you can agree to switch those out and work on them together instead. The goal is to make sure that everything is getting cleaned up during the day, no matter who does it.

 

There are different ways that you can handle all of the chores as well. You can choose to go with a spreadsheet or some other type of app to help you keep track of it all and to ensure that you do not forget what needs to get done. When everyone is willing to work together, you will find that it is easier to keep the apartment clean and no one feels like all the work is falling on them.

 

Regular cleaning will often not include the personal space of one roommate or the other. You should not have to worry about what the other roommate is doing in their own bedroom for example. Even if they don’t keep this area cleaned up, this is not an area that you need to worry as much about, so just let it go.
