This blog will deal with the house rule listed as "1)" in my previous post:
1) "Residents are responsible for keeping the common areas clean and hygienic, with chores assigned according to an agreement made mutually made by all the current residents of the house. This is particularly important in the kitchen, bathrooms and garbage area."
Living in a share house, particularly with other students, it seems that they all seem to think that that "cleaning up after yourself" is some else's responsibility.
Since I've been here I've purposely avoided using all common areas so as not to have to get caught up in the "Who's responsible for what" debate/war, mostly because I'm only here while I find somewhere else more permanent to live.
Today, the land lady came over and gave certain students the third degree about keeping the place tidy and cleaning up after themselves, as the place has slowly become quite disgusting.
Not to mention, she also gave them quite a stern talking to about abusing internet downloads and having no respect for other students using the same internet, as because of those two downloading more than their fair share of things, the internet had capped - perhaps they were unaware that internet plans in Australia are all capped.
I believe she told them that if there excessive downloading were to continue that they were to look at getting their own internet at their own expense.
I'll keep you posted!
