I don't like meetings
Meetings, that is almost a dirty word. We prefer not to have those…. No, having meetings is not necessary, if there is something we immediately discuss it. But does it always work this way?
Finding a roommate at Just-Roomies.com is a way of living together wich is far from being integrated in a lot of countries. So roommates can therefore be seen as pioneers, especially in the Netherlands. From the feedback we have received we understand that it is important not only to put the basic agreements on paper, but also to check regularly whether you and your roomie still feel comfortable with the appointments!
Residential meeting
The advice to all roommates is to hold a short meeting at least once every two weeks. Speak to each other on a fixed day and time. For example, you can discuss the following:
-
Cleaning common areas
-
Eating / cooking together
-
Dishes, who does what?
-
What can / do we want to share?
-
What is going well in living together? (Top)
-
What goes less well? (Tip)
-
What can we both improve? (Flop)
