I’m moving in for the first time with a guy I met online, he has a room for rent that I’m renting out. I have things like a microwave my own dishes, etc etc. How does it work in a roomate situation when you are bringing all these things? I don’t want to get rid of them incase I move out again. Any advice is great. Thanks.

  1. The best way to answer that question is to work it out with him. Chances are you may not need all of that stuff (ie. dishwasher or any large appliance).

  2. Work it out with your roommate. If he has a microwave, dishes etc. I am assuming you will be sharing all these things. Put your stuff that you will not need in storage or at a friends house in case you move out or you ever need the items. I would try to use a friend’s basement or something similar because storage facilities charge you monthly to keep your items there.

  3. these questions should be resolved before you move it.Have you talked to him>Do you have a place to store the things,if there is not enough space?Why are you moving in with someone you met online is my question?Have you met.You have to have an alerternate plan in the case things don’t work out the same way you hope.

  4. You have a serious conversation before you move in about what goes where, what belongs to whom and how *everything* from chores to food is shared. Better yet, make an inventory list of what’s yours when you move in, and give him a copy. That way you can lessen the chances of a dispute when you leave.
