Translations:Shared Apartments/14/en
Autonomy matters throughout. A resident retains the right to a private life. A flatmate retains the right to feel at ease at home. These are compatible in most households, though they require occasional maintenance.
| Reality=Reality Check: the most common source of harm in shared apartments is not conflict over rules but the slow accumulation of unspoken irritation. Resentment tends to build quietly, surface indirectly, and then be expressed at a volume disproportionate to the original issue. By that point the conversation is rarely about the visitor at all.
