5 Common Roommate Problems (and How to Fix Them)

Roommates can be difficult to live with but there are ways to cope. One major problem is the cleanliness within the household. Setting house rules or having a conversation on keeping the house tidy should be first. Second issue that arises the most is others not asking to borrow other roommates items. Money is always a constant issue as well. Splitting the bills evenly will avoid such arguments. Never invite another person to move in without consulting all other roommates.
