Changing Living Arrangements
Posted by Anonymous (not verified)
Has COVID-19 Made You Want to Change Where You Live or Who You Live With?
It's been a year since BC's first COVID-19 case; a year that has seen a huge amount of disruption to our daily lives, and more time than ever spent at home. Long hours sharing the same space with roommates or family can turn small annoyances into major aggravations. At the same time, our new routines may be changing what we want and need in our living spaces.
Before you change the locks and throw your roommate's stuff on the lawn, you will want to dig up any paperwork and watch our interview with lawyer, mediator, and Mediate BC board member Ashley Syer:
