My wife absolutely unpacks and puts all her stuff away and the suitcase goes in the closet till we are packing to leave.I just sometimes just live out of the suitcase and sometimes put my stuff away in drawers.On a side note since you are local to me I just bought a hoarder house that has antiques including dressers and chest of drawers.

Very excited to join this community! Only a few days and I have learned a lot. Looking forward to meet people with my same interests and work together!

Instead of including the utility in the rent, give them a copy of the bill and make them pay half.
