“I want to know what items are often kept in a share house.”
“Is it true that there are share houses where you can rent your belongings?”
In this day and age, where work styles are diversifying, it may be said that this is also a diversification of ways of living.
Naturally, this new way of living will be accepted and enjoyed even more.
So this time, we will explain what you need to bring to a share house and what items are useful to have.
If you are considering a share house, please read until the end.
There are surprisingly few things you need to bring in a share house.
It is said that the things you need to bring when living in a shared house are fewer than when living alone.
Because you have a shared kitchen and living room, you don't need to stock up on all the cooking utensils and appliances.
In addition, you can wash sheets, futons, towels, and other fabrics in the shared space, so there is often no need to bring detergent or a clothes dryer.
However, personal belongings, clothing, stationery, etc. must be prepared as necessary.
Rules and amenities vary depending on the share house, so be sure to check before moving in and prepare the necessary items.
A lot of luggage in a share house can be a nuisance.
Shared houses have limited shared space.
Therefore, if you bring in too much baggage, you may cause trouble to other residents.
In particular, actions such as occupying common spaces and refrigerators can cause trouble in living together smoothly.
Therefore, before moving in, it is a good idea to check the amount and size of luggage you will be bringing with you, and try to move in with the minimum amount of luggage necessary.
Items often kept in a share house
Some of them are already permanently installed in share houses.
Of course, it depends on the share house, but the following three are particularly prone to this.
- home appliances
- kitchenware
- daily necessities
Let's look at each in detail.
home appliances
Shared houses often have home appliances that can be shared by the tenants.
For example:
- refrigerator
- microwave oven
- rice cooker
- dining table
- tv set
Since these home appliances are used on a regular basis, there is no need to prepare them yourself, which reduces costs.
However, since it will be shared, it is important to clean it thoroughly after use and promptly report any malfunctions.
Internet connections may also be shared.
kitchenware
Shared houses are often stocked with cooking utensils, as many residents prepare their own meals in the shared kitchen.
Specifically, these include:
- frying pan
- pot
- knife
- cutting board
However, each share house has different types and numbers of cooking utensils, so it is important to check whether you can bring your own before moving in.
Also, it is considered good manners to clean the utensils and countertops after using the shared kitchen space.
daily necessities
In a shared house, multiple people live together, so daily necessities are often shared.
Specifically, these include:
- bed
- mini table
- tableware
- seasoning
- Detergent/softener
- toilet paper
- tissue
- Garbage bags/cleaning tools
Residents can bring their own items, but space is limited.
Please be considerate of each other and replenish as soon as possible when empty.
Also, the rules regarding shared property vary depending on each share house, so it is important to check them in advance.
Things you need for a share house
On the other hand, there are two things you should bring to a share house:
- Daily necessities that only you use
- mobile device
Let's look at each in detail.
Daily necessities that only you use
In a shared house, there are shared daily necessities, but you must provide your own daily necessities.
Examples of daily necessities include:
- bedding
- own towel
- toothbrush
- sheets
- TV (if you want to watch it in your room)
- Hanger
In addition, food-related items such as seasonings and sweets must be prepared to the extent that they do not cause inconvenience to other residents.
mobile device
For people living in a shared house, mobile devices are one of the necessities.
The first example is smartphones.
Share houses often provide shared internet, so using the internet on your smartphone is easy.
In addition, please bring a laptop or tablet if necessary.
However, since it is a personal device, please be careful about theft or loss.
There are also share houses where you can rent your belongings.
Some share houses provide a service where tenants can rent furniture, home appliances, daily necessities, etc. that they need.
By using such services, you can reduce the amount of luggage you need to pack when moving, and you can easily obtain the items you need for living alone or in a shared house for the first time.
Also, getting everything you need to start living on your own can be quite expensive initially.
However, you can reduce costs by using a shared house rental service.
However, please be aware that there may be a fixed fee for use, or there may be a period for renting the item or refund policy for cancellation on the same day.
Make sure that your belongings are kept in the share house.
This time, I have explained what to bring in a share house.
Due to the communal nature of shared houses, there are many things that are shared and permanently installed.
Carrying too much baggage can be a nuisance to residents, so be sure to check in advance what items you must bring with you and what you don't need.
