After the section "Real Estate" last week about the period before tenants can buy their own home, here is a list of tips for estate agents on how to survive by sharing a house when their days go out. Student is behind you. I do not want to live in diving.
According to Sally Lawson, President of the Residential Tenancies Association, a significant proportion of tenants live longer in shared housing than they did 15 years ago.
She said, "Whether you live with best friends or totally strangers, there are many obstacles to overcome in a home."
These are your basic rules to avoid conflicts:
Keep it organized
Ideally, you share with people who have similar standards to you. We all have different ideas about what "clean" means. Everyone should agree to take care of themselves especially in the kitchen.
If necessary, write a cleaning list so that everyone can contribute. Otherwise, you agree to share the cost of a cleaner.
Are you keeping pace with bills? Common cause of the arguments
When you move, you agree on how bills are paid and shared among all family members.
Make a note of what has been agreed. Set up bank transfers to cover the monthly expenses that are your responsibility. Download an application that gives you access to and can track your costs by signing in from your phone.
Stay safe
Make the objects you value somewhere in your room so they do not spread out in public areas. Security can be a problem if people you do not know enter and leave the house.
Consider sharing the basics
It's a good idea to team up with roommates to group the cost of essential food to avoid over-buying. Every month, you can agree on what needs to be replaced.
Respect others
Respect the privacy of your roommates. Do not go to your room when they are not there and always hit first. Reduce noise when inviting your friends to come back or to be late.
Communication is the key
Do you have an established method to discuss specific problems of the house, such as a Facebook group or WhatsApp. Communicate face to face when a problem needs to be resolved quickly.
Choose your roommates carefully
Be honest with your lifestyle: looking for roommates who have a similar attitude towards smoking, cleanliness and general values. Conflicting working hours can rhyme.

He said, "I was on both sides of the fence when I arrived in London two and a half years ago, I was looking for an extra bedroom in a condo and last year I was looking for an apartment - renting a room for six months.
"I posted an ad on reserveroom.com every time I explained what I was looking for and interrupt something about me.
"That made me see something, but I think you need to spend time with someone in a social environment before deciding whether you want to live with them.
"The personality of your roommates can have a big impact on whether you like your rent or not.
"I sometimes went out drinking with potential roommates and after half an hour could always say if I could live with them.
"People are much more open in a social environment, I've never been able to read a person's personality well during a visit."
