How to Deal with Share House Troubles? [From a Manager’s Perspective]
Hello! I’m SHU from TESEN. Share houses often seem fun and full of community, but there’s one concern that might cross your mind—troubles.
The truth is, there are some things you just can’t know until you actually live there.
At TESEN SHARE HOUSE, we’ve supported many residents and encountered various “minor issues” along the way. In this article, we share real-life examples of common troubles and how we resolve them—so you can see how things are actually handled!

｜Are Troubles Common in Share Houses?
Living with others means different habits and values will inevitably surface. At TESEN, while we can’t say there are zero problems, we’ve found that issues are often resolved early by focusing on two things: “addressing things when we notice them” and “creating an environment where people feel comfortable asking for help.”
This approach usually prevents minor issues from becoming major conflicts.
｜Top 5 Common Troubles
【Fridge Fiascos】
“Wait… Where’s My Pudding?”
After a long week, all you wanted was that pudding you saved… only to find it’s mysteriously vanished. That tiny dessert meant everything. And now? It’s gone.
How to prevent it: Label your items clearly! TESEN also performs regular fridge cleanings—removing expired items or things left behind by former residents.
【Shared Kitchen Stress】
“I Wasn’t Born Just to Wash Dishes!”
You’re ready to cook but can’t find a clean plate. The sink is full. Another dinner plan—ruined.
How to prevent it: Build a habit of cleaning dishes right after use. TESEN provides regular cleaning and even removes abandoned dishes. When visiting, check the kitchen rules and atmosphere!
【Noise Issues】
“The Neighbor’s Alarm Ring-Ring… AGAIN”
Someone’s 5-minute snooze alarm is now your wake-up call. Or midnight love calls next door leave you awkwardly hearing things you’d rather not.
How to prevent it: TESEN encourages open communication. Quiet hours (11pm–8am) are in place, and staff will step in if needed. Residents can easily reach out through our dedicated LINE support.
【Laundry Left Behind】
“Forgotten Socks, Forever Waiting”
You open the washer to use it… but someone’s clothes are still inside. And the owner? Nowhere to be found.
How to prevent it: Always collect your laundry right away. If you find someone’s load left behind, drop a quick message in the shared LINE group. TESEN also provides temporary laundry baskets at some locations.
【Personal Items Everywhere】
“This Sofa is Not Storage”
You walk into the lounge and it’s cluttered with someone’s suitcase or decor. Suddenly, it feels more like their personal storage space than a shared living room.
How to prevent it: Everyone must return personal items to their room. TESEN staff will remove unattended belongings. Want to add shared items? Talk it out with other residents and staff!

This could be your next home. But to truly understand the atmosphere and community, you have to visit. Share houses are more than buildings—they’re people, experiences, and energy. At TESEN, we’ve created a space where rules are clear, support is available, and communication is easy.
Start by scheduling a tour. Feel the vibe. Meet the people.
