Share Housing
 

recently i moved out of home and began share housing. i live in Australia if it makes a difference...
im just wondering what consitiutes a a person "living" in the house. as theres two girls here that have their boyfriends over all the time (not that i have anything against people having friends over) but there over all the time, i honestly havent seen them leave, their even over when their girlfriends arent home. Fair enough that they want to hang out with their boyfriends, but i dont think the other 3 of us should have to foot the bill for another two people "living" at the house.
maybe im being petty, but... i dunno...
sorry, you probably all think im being extremely stupid...

I know exactly what it's like. It's a bastard. Just make a note of what you use and stuff, pay for it that way.

I'm rarely at my house,and one of the people I live with has pretty much moved her boyfriend in- I'm not going to pay for stuff I don't use. I've paid my rent, but I'm not paying bills for stuff I don't use.

It's not fair if they don't contribute anything. My boyfriend and his flatmate live in a flat and i'm here pretty much most of the time. However i do ALL the cleaning/washing/ironing etc.. for them (his flatmate is one of best friends aswell so that makes it easier). I put in for food when we buy it and i buy all of my own toiletries and toothpaste/loo roll for the flat.

Just tell them you don't mind them being there but you just don't want to have to pay for everything.

yeah, i only stay at the house 4days. though our landlord sorts the bills out, so i dont really want to kick up a fuss if i have nothing to make a fuss about.

if they dont use anything, like phones, or food then there really isnt much of a problem.

Its only if they use things and dont pay for them, then you should have a word with the other people you live with.
