We know that sharing a flat can be a rich human adventure... but sometimes a complex one. Sometimes, living with one or more roommates can become difficult.
😕 What should you do if tensions arise in your shared apartment?
First and foremost, it's often helpful to:
Engage in direct, calm and benevolent dialogue with the person concerned.
Call on the Community Leader, if your residence has one
Seek a collective solution with all housemates if the problem is shared.
Many tensions can be defused with a little communication, and this is often the best way forward.
