Setting house rules
Clear house rules are the foundation of pleasant cohabitation. Think about:
- Quiet hours: When should it be quiet in the house?
- Guests: Can the tenant have visitors? Overnight stays?
- Cleaning: How do you divide household tasks?
- Cooking: Together or separately? Do you share each other's things?
