What is proper roommate etiquette?
If you have a significant other, be respectful of everyone else in the apartment. Your SO shouldn’t stay too often or too long. They shouldn’t regularly use common areas alone. Your other roommates might not feel comfortable hanging out with them. They should never be at the apartment alone – they aren’t a roommate.
