A great party and a clean flat the morning after are concepts in direct opposition to each other. Great parties see beer cans, fluids (bodily and alcoholic) and costume debris clutter the adult playground that, for one night only, was your trendy Bristol House Share.
When you decided to rent a room, you probably neither wanted to live in squalor nor live like a nun, so here’s how to have a great party without losing your deposit.
Plastic Cups
“Oh no I dropped my plastic cup! It’s shattered into 1000 sharp pieces and has cut up my foot and the floor in equal measure!” – said no one ever.
Hide All the Nice Things
Because after a few drinks, a game of Ring of Fire quickly becomes a game of Ring 999, there’s a fire. If you rent a room and keep all your stuff in there, maybe make it a no-go zone (see 6!)
No Red Wine
We love wine. Don’t get us wrong. It’s just that Kyle’s bottle of Chateauneuf Du Pape is much more welcome at your next dinner party than it is welcome on every inch of your cream sofa.
Outside, You Chimneys!
What would a house party be without cigarettes! Healthier, less smelly and much less ash-y, that’s what. Keep it outside, guys.
Pizza Only
People love to eat, especially after a party has been going for a few hours. But few people recognise that if scientists deliberately designed a food for house parties, it would be pizza.
You can slice it up into as many pieces as needed. You can’t really spill it. It only ever smells amazing and everyone can get the type they want.
Make ‘Forbidden Zone’ Signs so Funny No One Could Ignore Them
And that, friends, is the way to not lose your deposit when you rent a room in a flat that likes to party. Be it Bristol flatshare or a Bangor flatshare, Easyroomate has thousands of rooms to choose from.
