We encourage respect, communication, and kindness within every shared home. A disagreement doesn’t necessarily mean poor cohabitation, but it’s important to address it at the right time and in the right way.
🧘 Step 1: Take a step back
Before taking action, take a moment to reflect on the situation:
Is this a one-time issue or a recurring conflict?
Is it due to a misunderstanding or a difference in lifestyle?
Is this something that could be resolved with a simple conversation?
💬 Step 2: Have a calm conversation
Engage in a direct, calm, and respectful dialogue with the person involved
Reach out to the Community Leader, if your residence has one
Seek a collective solution with all housemates if the issue is shared
👥 Step 3: Reach out to the Community Leader (if applicable)
Some Colonies residences have a Community Leader. Their role is to help manage community life:
They can act as a neutral mediator
They’ll help you find common ground and avoid escalation
📩 Step 4: Contact us
If the conflict persists or becomes too difficult to handle alone:
Reach out to us via your tenant space
Clearly explain the situation, staying factual and respectful
We’ll respond quickly to discuss possible solutions and support you
