Blog 2 Negotiating with Roommates


Living with 4 people in one apartment can be very frustrating. Who takes out the trash, who does the dishes, who takes care of the bills, who cleans the living room? These are all questions we have to deal with at least once a month, and still have issues with it. Usually it ends in an argument and nobody cleans the mess. The only thing that gets taken care of is the bills because no one wants bad credit. After class on Monday I learned some solutions that could fix our situation. I discussed with my roommates some ways we can fix the problem and we came up with a rotation on the cleaning. That night we actually all pitched in and cleaned up the apartment. Hopefully this agreement stays or we will have to try another solution.

  1. Has the situation improved?

    Sometimes the solution is just within reach if we talk a little more, isn't it? I'm proud of you for initiating the roster cleaning schedule and took responsibility to solve the problem.
