We can all imagine why relationships are important for human beings and their happiness in life. In the Czech Republic it is not always customary to get to know and maintain friendly relations between neighbours, especially not in apartment buildings in big cities. Moreover, when you know that this home is not likely to be the last one you will live in.
However, good relationships have their advantages.
We believe that even a little thing like getting to know your neighbours and having a bite to eat will break the ice and avoid all kinds of assumptions. This will open the way to greater understanding, which you will appreciate when you host a noisier visitor or drill a shelf. And you might find that you have some really interesting people living next door, and you'll make some new friends in your life.
To maintain good relations, we strongly recommend that you inform your neighbours when you are moving furniture or furnishing your home, which will certainly be accompanied by some operational noise and noise. They will also be happy if you let them know in advance about any large gatherings with friends in the evening. They'll be able to prepare in advance for the fact that it will be lively and arrange themselves accordingly.
Each house where several families live together also has its own House Rules, which specify the rules of living together. It always has some basic rules, which are similar in all houses, and some specific rules that reflect what matters most to the owners in the house. Focus on these in particular. What are the basic rules in apartment buildings? Check out our House Rules in VITOM House, for example.
At the same time, it is necessary to comply with public fire precautions, which do not have to be set by each apartment building separately, as they result from statutory regulations. Be sure to check out the basic recommendations, questions and answers about living in apartment buildings from the Fire and Rescue Department.
So what do you say? Will you take the first step and try to pleasantly surprise your neighbours with, for example, a homemade bun or something good to drink?
