GUESTS
One of the most common problems between roommates lies in the area of

present: (i.e. the night before an exam, in the early morning, etc…)

If we have conflicting hours or lifestyle differences, we
will resolve them as follows: (e.g. one roommate may
agree to study elsewhere for certain hours or friends may

We agree to share these responsibilities in the following
manner:
[mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, making beds, emptying
trash, dusting, cleaning the refrigerator, laundering regu-
larly, and any other hygiene issues that may arise]
__ We will each take care of our section of the space.
__ We will alternate cleaning the entire space.
__ We will each take care of our own space but will alternate
cleaning the communal living space.
Should we disagree on the amount of cleanliness/tidiness
each can tolerate, we will resolve our differences in the
following manner:
PET PEEVES
Sometimes there will be things that one roommate will do that
