What if some housemates don't take part in cleaning chores?

🗣️ Talk

Always start with a constructive approach:

  • Organize a flatshare meeting

  • Express your concerns in a calm and factual manner

  • Listen to everyone's point of view

  • Identify potential obstacles (schedule, misunderstanding of tasks)

  • Suggest common solutions

📝 Reorganization

If dialogue is not enough:

  • Redefine the cleaning schedule

  • Set up more visible reminders

  • Create a detailed checklist of tasks

  • Establish a stricter rotation system

  • You can try a flatshare app for tracking

🧹 Using a cleaning service

  • Try a home cleaning service with shared costs - this can be interesting when dividing the total cost per flatmate.

⚠️ Colonies intervention

If the problem persists:

  • Contact us through your tenant portal

  • Document the situation with photos

  • Keep track of exchanges and reminders

  • We will send an official reminder to the concerned flatmates

Our goal is to maintain a pleasant environment for everyone. Cleanliness is a shared responsibility that requires the involvement of each flatmate!
