When renting, we are often faced with two options: a whole house and a shared apartment. Whole rent, as the name suggests, is to rent the entire house and enjoy independent space and privacy. The advantage of this approach is that it is relatively simple to handle transactions and the communication with the landlord is relatively straightforward. In daily life, apart from the interaction with the landlord, there are fewer other tedious affairs. In addition, the costs of water, electricity, property, etc., are borne by the renter and do not need to be shared with others. 
However, for some friends looking to save on the cost of living, a shared house may be a more suitable option. Sharing means sharing some or all of the space in a house with others, which allows you to split the rent and reduce financial pressure. But sharing also has its challenges, because everyone's living habits and preferences are different, so when living under the same roof, there will inevitably be friction and collisions. 
In order to ensure that the sharing process goes smoothly, it is very necessary to have some basic conventions in place. For example, the use of public facilities such as kitchens and toilets needs to be discussed and agreed upon. These conventions should not only be made verbally, but should also be clearly spelled out in the co-rental agreement to ensure that everyone's rights are protected. 
In today's society, it is not common to share a house with strangers. Most of the time, there is a certain basis of understanding and trust between the co-tenants. After all, it's hard for people with different views to come together, let alone live under the same roof. Therefore, when choosing a shared apartment, we should consider not only the financial factors, but also the way we get along with others, so as to ensure that we can live in harmony and create a warm and comfortable living environment together. What is the difference between a whole tenancy and a shared tenancy?
