It’s essential to consider living with roommates as a temporary arrangement, as you never know what will happen with them.

Properly sharing is a huge part of living with roommates. You have to share a bathroom, a fridge, a living room, and that’s only the beginning.

‘I don’t appreciate randos at my house’: Woman house-sitting for free lets friend inside for 5 minutes to pick up food, homeowner freaks out on her
House-sitting for someone else can be a tricky job. If they’re chill, then you’re chill. You can relax and not worry about if they’re going to notice that you moved one of their forks.

I have lived with friends for 3.5 years of my life. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great way of living with roommates and far superior to shacking up with a bunch of randos. When you live with people you know and love, you feel responsible for ensuring their living space is a happy, …

It’s common for residents of small apartment buildings in New York to store some of their stuff in the hallway. My neighbor stores his bike against the railing in the hallway between our door and the stairs upstairs, and it’s not a nuisance to us or the people in apartment 3. Sometimes, you don’t have …

‘This poor animal’: Cat owner leaves cat at home alone for 3 weeks, roommate threatens to break her lease 8 months early
The wonderful thing about cats is that they don’t require much from us. Most of them love to keep to themselves and will lash out if you try to bother them. They have strict boundaries, and when you cross them, they will let you know (I have the scratch marks to prove it). You don’t …
