Living with housemates
Clean up after yourself in the kitchen and bathroom. If you spill it, clean it. If you use it, put it back.
Nobody wants to be that housemate — a bit of effort keeps everyone happy.
Respect shared spaces
People have different routines, cultures, and habits. What’s normal for you might be new for someone else.
Give each other space to settle in and adjust.
Be flexible - Everyone’s different
Small things (like leaving dishes or taking too long in the shower) can become big tensions.
If something’s bothering you, speak up early — calmly and respectfully. Or pop it in the group chat.
talk before it builds up
If something’s bugging you - mess, noise, fridge hogging. Don’t let it build up into a rage-cleaning session.
Message directly, be polite, and avoid sarcasm.
And maybe don’t use sticky notes unless you’re actually being funny.
communicate early
A simple WhatsApp group helps a lot.
Silence it if you need, but don’t ghost it completely.
