Another couple of things…DD and her six roommates have WEEKLY house meetings to discuss the state of the house. Each of them is in charge of something. DD is in charge of getting the rent check mailed. The roomies all have to deposit money into an account she opened ONLY for house purposes. They started having these house meetings BEFORE they even agreed to signing a lease together. It has worked out well. When two roommates decided not to renew the lease for next year, the other five had to interview and approve the replacements…which fortunately went very smoothly.
