If cleaning becomes an issue, try to have a calm and respectful conversation with your housemates. Suggest creating a cleaning rota to ensure everyone shares responsibilities fairly. If the issue persists, bring it up again as a group and consider involving your landlord if it’s affecting the property’s condition.

To split bills, use apps like Splitwise or Monzo to track and divide costs. Many utilities providers also allow multiple names on the account, so everyone is equally responsible for payments. Make sure to agree on how bills will be handled at the start of your tenancy to avoid misunderstandings.

If you’re not getting along, focus on maintaining clear communication and setting boundaries. Try to find common ground and compromise when possible. If the situation becomes too stressful, speak to your university’s accommodation office for advice or consider moving to different accommodation.

If your housemates are noisy, talk to them politely about how it’s affecting you. Explain your concerns and agree on quiet hours, especially during exam periods. If the issue continues, consider using earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones and escalate the matter if necessary.

If a housemate fails to pay their share, discuss the issue with them directly and find out why. It’s important to address this promptly to avoid financial strain on others. If they’re struggling, you can work out a payment plan, but if they’re unwilling to pay, contact your landlord or seek advice from your university’s accommodation office.
