Rules and Regulations
1. Monthly Membership Payments are due on the first of each month. There is
a $30 late fee for payments received after the 5 th day of the month.
2. Quiet hours or work-from-home needs
3. Guest policies, especially overnight stays
4. Keep common areas truly common
The living room, kitchen, and bathroom may not belong to just one person, but
how they’re treated often becomes the biggest source of roommate tension.
Respecting shared spaces starts with understanding that they should feel
neutral, comfortable, and accessible to everyone who lives in the apartment.
Common areas should not become an extension of someone’s bedroom or
personal clutter zone. That means putting away shoes, not leaving dishes in the
sink, and avoiding the habit of spreading your belongings across shared
surfaces. It also means being mindful of how often you use the space and
whether your habits are affecting your roommate’s experience at home.
What shared space etiquette looks like:
-
Wipe down kitchen counters and dining tables after using them
-
Don’t leave your things on the coffee table, couch, or floor
-
Avoid monopolizing the TV or speakers without asking
-
Be conscious of how often and how long guests are in common areas
3. Don’t underestimate the power of the cleaning schedule
One of the fastest ways to cause tension in a shared apartment is through uneven
cleaning habits. Maybe one roommate is tidy by nature while the other tends to
let things pile up. Without a clear system in place, this difference can quickly lead
to frustration and unspoken resentment.
Creating a shared cleaning schedule helps remove the guesswork and makes it
easier to keep the apartment looking and feeling great. It’s not about being
perfect. It’s about agreeing on a basic standard and holding each other
accountable to it in a fair and manageable way.
What to include in a weekly rotation:
-
Taking out the trash and recycling
-
Wiping down kitchen counters and stovetops
-
Cleaning the bathroom sink, mirror, and toilet
-
Vacuuming or sweeping shared floors
-
Tidying the living room or entryway
Posting the schedule on the fridge or using a shared digital note keeps everyone
aligned. You can alternate weekly or divide tasks based on preference. The key is
consistency. Regular upkeep prevents messes from becoming overwhelming and
helps everyone feel respected in their shared home.
At Broadstone Upper Westside, our residents enjoy well-designed kitchens and
easy-to-maintain finishes that make cleaning feel less like a chore. With the right
system, apartment living with roommates can stay organized and stress-free.
4. Respect privacy and personal space
Even in the most open and friendly roommate arrangements, everyone needs
time to recharge. Respecting personal space is one of the most important parts of
successful co-living, and it goes far beyond just keeping out of someone’s
bedroom.
Everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to noise, social time, and
personal belongings. Some roommates may want to hang out often while others
need more downtime. Understanding those preferences and honoring them helps
create a living space that feels supportive and respectful for everyone.
How to respect privacy in a shared apartment:
-
Always knock before entering your roommate’s room, even if the door is open
-
Use headphones for music, video calls, or gaming, especially in the evening
-
Avoid interrupting if your roommate is working, studying, or clearly relaxing
-
Never assume it’s okay to borrow things without asking first
Privacy also applies to routines and communication. If your roommate isn’t
talkative in the morning or prefers alone time after work, give them the space to
decompress. Shared living works best when personal boundaries are recognized
without judgment.
At Broadstone Upper Westside, our Floor Plans are designed to make co-living
tips for renters more practical. With thoughtfully separated bedrooms and flexible
layouts, residents can enjoy time together and apart with ease.
5. Communicate early, and kindly
When something feels off in your shared apartment, silence is rarely the solution.
Clear and respectful communication is the foundation of any strong roommate
relationship. Whether it's a missed cleaning rotation, an unexpected guest, or a
minor annoyance, addressing things early helps prevent bigger problems down
the road.
The way you bring up concerns matters just as much as what you say.
Accusations or sarcasm can make your roommate feel attacked, which only leads
to defensiveness. Instead, aim for open dialogue that focuses on solutions and
mutual respect.
Tips for roommate-friendly communication:
-
Use “I” statements like “I’ve noticed” or “I feel” instead of “you always”
-
Choose the right time to talk, ideally when you’re both calm and not rushed
-
Be honest, but also be willing to listen to their perspective
-
Focus on the behavior or issue, not the person
End the conversation with a clear plan or compromise
Here’s an example: Instead of saying, “You never clean the kitchen,” try “I feel
overwhelmed when the dishes sit for more than a day. Can we figure out a plan
that works for both of us?”
Kind communication builds trust and shows your roommate that you’re
committed to making your shared home a positive space. At Broadstone Upper
Westside, our community values reflect the same approach, respect, cooperation,
and consideration in every shared interaction. These are essential roommate
rules for shared apartments that help your home stay harmonious.
6. Be mindful with shared resources
In a shared apartment, many of the little things that keep a household running,
from dish soap to toilet paper, tend to be communal. Without a plan in place, one
roommate might end up buying everything, or the essentials run out at the worst
possible time. Being thoughtful and proactive about shared resources helps
avoid tension and ensures everyone contributes fairly.
Start by deciding together what items you’ll share and what will remain personal.
For example, you might agree to split costs for household cleaning products,
paper towels, and pantry staples, but each keep your own toiletries or snacks.
Then, decide how you’ll handle replenishing those items. Some roommates
alternate, while others track purchases with an app and settle up monthly.
Smart habits for managing shared supplies:
Create a shared list of agreed-upon communal items
Use a notes app or chalkboard for when things run low
Take turns restocking or contribute a set amount monthly
Be respectful of how much you're using and always replace what you finish
Apps like Splitwise or Venmo make it easy to track small shared costs and avoid
awkward IOUs. And being generous when you can, like picking up the next round
of paper towels, fosters goodwill and reciprocity.
At Broadstone Upper Westside, our residents appreciate how the little things are
made easier through thoughtful apartment layouts and shared community
spaces. With a bit of planning, even the most routine aspects of apartment living
with roommates can feel seamless and stress-free.
7. Create boundaries around guests
Living with roommates means sharing more than just a space, it also means
sharing the energy, presence, and habits of other people who come into that
space. Whether it's a significant other, family member, or a visiting friend, how
and when guests are around can have a big impact on the comfort level in your
apartment.
It's important to remember that while you might be completely comfortable with
having someone over, your roommate may have a different threshold for social
interaction or noise. The best way to avoid friction is to talk about expectations
early and revisit them if anything changes.
Smart guest etiquette for shared apartments:
Be upfront about when someone is visiting, and for how long
Ask before inviting guests to stay overnight
Avoid back-to-back hosting without a heads-up
Keep shared spaces clean and respectful while your guest is present
Never assume your roommate will be okay with a guest using their
belongings
If your guest is over frequently, be sure to talk with your roommate to see if any
adjustments are needed. Communication keeps the environment respectful and
helps everyone feel like their home is still their own.
At Broadstone Upper Westside, our leasing and amenity policies are designed to
support respectful, flexible apartment living with roommates. Whether you're
hosting a guest for a weekend or having friends over for a movie night, setting
thoughtful boundaries ensures a more comfortable experience for everyone.
8. Share the fun, not just the logistics
Roommate relationships work best when they include more than just reminders
about the rent or who’s taking out the trash. While communication and
boundaries are essential, adding a little fun to your shared living experience can
make the difference between simply coexisting and truly enjoying your home.
You don’t have to be best friends to connect in meaningful ways. Sharing a meal,
watching a show, or just catching up for a few minutes each week builds trust
and keeps the overall energy of your apartment more positive and relaxed.
Simple ways to build connection:
Plan a monthly roommate dinner or brunch
Set up a shared playlist for cooking or cleaning
Celebrate birthdays, holidays, or lease anniversaries
Decorate seasonally or work on a home project together
Create a shared calendar for social events, not just chores
These small traditions help break up the routine and create shared memories.
When you have a foundation of fun and connection, addressing everyday
concerns becomes easier and more collaborative. These are the types of co-living
tips for renters that turn your apartment into more than just a shared space, it
becomes a shared experience.
At Broadstone Upper Westside, our community spaces make it easy to host, hang
out, and enjoy time together, whether that means game nights in your living room
or grilling on the patio. When your apartment feels like home to everyone,
apartment living with roommates becomes a lot more rewarding.
9. Know when to reset the conversation
Even the best roommates will run into friction. If tension builds or routines break
down, revisit your original roommate agreement or have a reset conversation.
This isn’t failure, it’s maintenance.
What a reset might include:
Clarifying quiet hours or cleaning duties
Addressing schedule changes (like night shifts or new work-from-home
routines)
Reestablishing boundaries that may have slipped
At Broadstone Upper Westside, our leasing team is always here to help with
practical support for shared living. From flexible layouts to helpful amenities like
community lounges or study rooms, our community is designed with your
lifestyle in mind and built on the best roommate rules for shared apartments.
