Shared living offers many advantages, such as shared costs, social ties and a friendly atmosphere. However, to ensure that your experience runs as smoothly as possible, it's important to put certain rules in place.
Discover the best practices for harmonious communal living, so that everyone can make the most of this shared experience.
Open and respectful communication
Communication is essential for harmonious life. It's also crucial to actively listen to others and respect their opinions and choices. Transparency and mutual respect are the foundations of good communication.
Establishing common rules
Establishing common rules plays a crucial role in maintaining harmony within a shared apartment. To ensure a harmonious cohabitation, it is advisable to jointly define clear guidelines, which can cover aspects such as respect for each other's sleep, the management of visits and parties, and the shared use of common spaces.
Active participation by all members in the creation of these rules ensures not only their fairness but also their universal acceptance, thus fostering a pleasant atmosphere for all residents.
A personal space
At Sharies residences, you'll have access to your room via a system of connected locks. This allows you to retreat to your own private space and feel at ease.
Sharing household chores
Living with other people means sharing household chores. Although a weekly cleaning service is provided, it's important to set up a system for sharing responsibilities, such as a cleaning schedule or a chore rotation system.
Communicating shared expenses
When you live with a roommate, it's common to share expenses related to common errands or household products. It's essential to establish clear communication about these expenses, and to find a fair system for allocating them.
This may involve keeping a register of expenses, or setting a fixed monthly amount to be paid by each resident. Transparency and open communication are essential to avoid financial conflicts.
Tolerance and respect for differences
Coliving often brings together people from different backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles. It's important to show tolerance and respect for other residents' differences. Diversity enriches the shared experience, and everyone can learn and grow by interacting with people from different perspectives.
Coliving is an enriching and enjoyable experience if certain practices are put in place. By fostering communication and establishing rules, you can create a harmonious and fulfilling atmosphere.
Coliving then becomes much more than a simple sharing of accommodation, but a real life experience where you'll feel at home.
