Dealing With a Bad Accommodation Mate
Among the most common problems regarding accommodations and dorms are the ones with sharing. An accommodation mate, man or woman, can be a completely random person. Because of this, most times the two personalities don’t match and people get into fights for silly things. Apparently the reasons are of less importance but in reality they are really disturbing.
Home is the one place in the world where a person is completely in title to his own rules. By sharing an accommodation, that freedom does not entirely exist. The disputes happen because that freedom is not present. It is understandable that a person will act strange that way. Even so, this is still not enough of an excuse. The agreement is that both people have equal parts of freedom, obligations, chores, bills and so on. If something is to be changed, it requires the approval of the other house mate and sometimes even the landlord.
Some people are just accustomed to their own freedom and they don’t understand much about sharing. This can be really irritating. One or two mistakes are acceptable but constant lack of desire to listen is not. The other person still has a right to protect what is his and so he needs ways to deal with the bad accommodation mate. The way to do it is actually very simple. Just be clear about your rights, follow the rules strictly and mind how much you actually trust the other person. If you don’t like him/her, just don’t be afraid of confrontations.
Should you sense something to be wrong, you give the other person no more than 3 chances. The first one is a respectful conversation between you two, aiming to discuss the problem and hopefully find a solution. The second stage is a personal warning. The last stage is looking for your right, taking the issue directly to the landlord. He will decide from then on.
From the moment you move in, using the removal services London, you can know if the other person is going to be friendly, trying to make friends with his/her accommodation mate, or if that person doesn’t like you much and is going to be passive or defensive. Out of pure respect, do your part of being friendly and trying to achieve a level of friendly understanding. If that doesn’t work, there is only so much you can do to make it any better.
