Excellent work!<\/p>\n<p>No, the parties and life as you know it aren\u2019t necessarily over. But the bottom line is, you\u2019re an adult now. When it comes to house sharing, if they didn\u2019t have time before, your housemates\u2014now with their own professional jobs\u2014really don\u2019t have time to do your dishes or chase you for your portion of the water bill.<\/p>\n<p>The rules of house sharing as a young professional are largely the same as they were with house sharing in your uni days, with just a few notable tweaks. If you want to ensure you\u2019re the best housemate you can be, check out our list of do\u2019s and don\u2019ts.<\/p>\n<h2>The do\u2019s<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Clean up after yourself<\/strong> \u2013 Ideally you were doing this as a student, so this shouldn\u2019t be a major shift. But it\u2019s doubly important now that you clean up after yourself not just on a daily basis, but by doing your share of the nitty gritty cleaning too. You\u2019ll split this with your housemates as well, but make sure you\u2019re always doing your fair share.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pay your bills on time<\/strong> \u2013 Because you\u2019re paying your bills yourself, you\u2019ll feel the strain of your housemates\u2019 unpaid bills now more than ever. Don\u2019t be that housemate \u2013 pay your bills on time! To make sure you don\u2019t let anyone down, set up a bill-splitting app so you and your housemates can see exactly where everyone stands on the monthly bill front.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Respect your neighbours<\/strong> \u2013 You don\u2019t have the excuse of being a student anymore for loud parties and not bringing in your bins. Read up on how your local council deals with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/noise-nuisances-how-councils-deal-with-complaints\">noise complaints<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizensadvice.org.uk\/housing\/problems-where-you-live\/if-your-neighbour-is-complaining-about-you\/\">what to do if your neighbour is complaining about you<\/a> to make sure you and your housemates don\u2019t get into real-world trouble.<\/p>\n<h2>The don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Throw parties without your housemates\u2019 permission<\/strong> \u2013 This rule might\u2019ve been a little more relaxed in your uni days, but now that everyone has a job to go to in the morning, your housemates likely don\u2019t want to hear you and your mates singing along to \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Believin\u2019\u201d all night long. Ask their permission about a party well in advance so they can weigh in and make preparations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steal food<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s nothing more disappointing than coming home from the office only to find that your housemate has eaten that last slice of pizza you\u2019ve been dreaming about all day. You worked hard for the money it took to buy that pizza \u2013 treat your housemates (and their food, belongings, etc.) with respect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t come home loudly<\/strong> \u2013 This goes back to the whole, we\u2019ve got jobs and don\u2019t want to be woken up at four in the morning, thing. Just as it\u2019s important to respect your housemates\u2019 property, it\u2019s also important to respect their sleep.<\/p>\n<h2>acasa can make house sharing easier<\/h2>\n<p>acasa is a bill-splitting app originally designed for house sharing students.
