It\u2019s easier to clean \u2014 or not clean \u2014 a living space when you live by yourself. It\u2019s different with a roommate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chore Chart for Roommates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You and your roommate will want to discuss a chore calendar. This is why Moving Help created a Roommate Chore Chart, which you can adjust depending on how many roommates live with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Roommate-Chore-Chart.pdf\"><strong>DOWNLOAD ROOMMATE CHORE CHART<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As our example shows, each roommate has a different list of chores to complete each week. Everyone will be responsible for their own task. We also have a chore bank where we list other ideas you could include in your roommate chore chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download our roommate chore chart and fill in the chore for each week with your roommates. You also can write down each roommate\u2019s name under \u201cRoommate 1,\u201d \u201cRoommate 2,\u201d etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should place the chore chart visible somewhere for all roommates to see and know who is supposed to complete each task each week. You could even laminate the printout, so you can use a marker and eraser to use the same page more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Roommate-Chore-Chart.pdf\"><strong>DOWNLOAD ROOMMATE CHORE CHART<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating an Effective Roommate Chore Chart Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to cleaning, you might quickly realize you love to complete one particular chore over another chore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe your roommate is better at cleaning the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/clean-oven-with-baking-soda\/\">oven<\/a> than you, but you\u2019re better at mopping the floors than your roommate. When you keep an open dialogue of communication, you can learn that switching chores around could benefit everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another effective tip when it comes to cleaning and chores is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be flexible:<\/strong> Life happens, and sometimes things are out of our control. If you or your roommates miss their chores for the week, it\u2019s OK to check in on them. A bad week can happen, so make sure you show compassion and empathy before berating your roommate for not completing their weekly chores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Set-rules-and-boundaries\">4. Set Rules and Boundaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you finally find your roommate and move-in together or when you both are living together at the same time, you should go over rules and boundaries. By establishing rules and boundaries at the beginning of your roommate relationship, you and your roommate won\u2019t be surprised later down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some rules and boundaries questions to consider are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li>What is your work schedule?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>What is your sleeping schedule?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>What is your party habit?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>How often will you have company over?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>How often do you cook?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\">\n<li>What are your rules with pets?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\">\n<li>How often do you complete your laundry?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\">\n<li>How often do you clean your home?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Living-with-a-roommate-3.jpg\" alt=\"Two roommates study together in the living room.

This will help determine when the other person is sleeping, when quiet time is needed, or when your roommate is working from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you share a bathroom, you\u2019ll need to make sure each roommate has plenty of time using the bathroom if you share the same work schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking Schedules and Kitchen Items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people like to cook every night. Many people like to cook a few nights a week. Some people love to meal prep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to learn when you and your roommate like to cook, so no one is inadvertently hogging the kitchen space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you should learn whether you\u2019re buying your own groceries, sharing the entire grocery bill, or sharing the grocery bill for common items like olive oil, seasonings, and bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules About Pets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone should obviously be responsible for taking care of their pets. If a roommate\u2019s dog is barking all the time, you might want to consider having a conversation with them, however. You should be aware of how the dog behaves and what to do in case of an emergency, especially when your roommate isn\u2019t home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another part about pets to keep in mind is getting a pet while already living together. If you, your roommate, or both of you decide to get a pet while already living together, everyone should make sure to set some ground rules before any pet is acquired. Some rules to establish are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li>Who is getting the pet?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Does your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/lease-start-date-vs-move-in-date\/\">lease<\/a> need to be updated?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>Who will feed and water the pet?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>Who will play with the pet?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>Who will clean up after the pet?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\">\n<li>Who will train the pet?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\">\n<li>Who will take the pet to the veterinary appointments?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\">\n<li>What to do and where to go in case of emergencies?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"9\">\n<li>Where will the pet stay when the owner or owners aren\u2019t home?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"10\">\n<li>Will other roommates ever be responsible for the pet?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions will set a solid foundation on expectations moving forward prior to anyone getting a dog, cat, or another pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Money-and-bills\">5.
