Roommate Conflict Prevention Checklist

USE THIS CHECKLIST IN YOUR FIRST MONTH AND EVERY MONTH AFTER:

□ Have a group meeting to discuss expectations (cleaning, guests, noise, finances) □ Create and sign a roommate agreement □ Set up a shared expense tracker in HomeCo □ Agree on a chore rotation schedule □ Establish quiet hours and guest policies □ Designate personal vs shared storage space □ Set up a shared calendar for important dates □ Create an emergency contact list □ Agree on a conflict resolution process (talk first, then HomeCo message, then mediation) □ Schedule monthly check-ins to address small issues before they grow

Prevention is easier than resolution. Revisit this checklist monthly.
