How to Set Boundaries With Roommates

Boundaries aren't walls — they're agreements that help everyone feel respected and comfortable.

Start with physical boundaries: personal vs. shared spaces, borrowing rules, and bathroom schedules.

Financial boundaries matter too: agree on spending limits for shared items and how to handle unexpected costs.

Social boundaries include guest policies, party rules, and how much social interaction each person needs.

HomeCo helps enforce boundaries by making agreements visible, trackable, and transparent for everyone.
