Another big thing that you need to discuss when it comes to your roommate agreement is the guests and significant others and when they are allowed to be over into the apartment and how long they can stay. You may have an open door policy or some rules about discussing this with the roommate before you move in. Even if you and the roommate do not have a significant other when you move in together, this is still something good to discuss because you never know when one may get one.

No one wants to end up with a surprise extra roommate by having the boyfriend or girlfriend of their roommate practically move in. The same can be said about a guest who may have been invited over for one night, but who doesn’t really want to leave. There is nothing worse than expecting to be able to come back to an empty apartment and then find out there are a ton of people you were not expecting in the first place. And your roommate is probably going to feel the same way.

Couples can often have a sleepover, but if you have no interest in having your roommates significant other over most of the time, then it is important to write this out in the roommate agreement to be on the same page. This will help both of you state how often you are comfortable having guests over and how often they can spend the night in the apartment so that no one feels like their space is being taken over.

Writing this out ahead of time, you need to write this into the roommate agreement. This is going to help avoid any awkward conversations about seeing their partner too much and will prevent any guests from overstaying their welcome when they come to stay. Be open to listening to what your roommate says about this as well and be willing to do some compromising too.
