Moving In Together for the First Time: What to Know
Everything first-time roommates need to discuss before moving in together — from finances to house rules.
Moving in with someone is exciting — but a little preparation prevents a lot of problems.
Before move-in day, agree on rent splits, utility responsibilities, and how you'll handle shared purchases.
Discuss lifestyle preferences: sleep schedules, guests, noise levels, and cleanliness standards.
Put your agreements in writing — even a simple shared note prevents 'but we never agreed on that' moments.
