Truths of house share living

Traditional house shares often come with numerous challenges, including:

• Mouldy bedrooms and bathrooms: Mould isn’t just unpleasant—it’s unhealthy and can cause respiratory issues.
• Dirty kitchens: Shared kitchens can become chaotic, creating tension among housemates.
• Noisy neighbours: Late-night parties and loud music can disrupt your peace and study time.
• Dodgy streets at night: Safety concerns can make living in certain areas stressful.
• Unhelpful landlords: Maintenance issues often go unresolved, leaving you frustrated.
• Slow internet: Wi-Fi issues can make studying or streaming a hassle.
