SHARING
Roommates share items avoid fights by talking

All roommates have different dynamics; some students might share everything between each other, while others might prefer to keep everything separate. However, the likely situation is that roommates eventually share a few items. Here are some tips to make that situation easier:
TIP 1: HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE
It's much easier if guidelines are set before a conflict arises. It obviously won't include everything, but it is somewhere to start. For example, roommates might decide to share silverware, a hair dryer, and so on. It might be helpful to have specific shared items written down, but a verbal agreement also works.
TIP 2: RETURN A BORROWED ITEM IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION
To help guarantee future use of an item,
return the item in good shape. If an item is dirty, clean it. If it's an article of clothing, wash and fold it. If it's a car, fill it up with gas.
TIP 3: IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
If there is uncertainty as to whether or not a roommate would allow using a certain item, it's better to ask. The roommate will appreciate it, and there won't be future misunderstandings.
TIP 4: COMPROMISE
Roommates benefit from sharing a few items. For example, it is probably unnecessary to have two toasters in the same apartment.
