sharing apartment
Hello. I am a 22 yr old female moving to Orlando in two weeks for a new job. I have a g/f who is going with me. The apt. has 2 b/r, 2/ba, but only one bedroom has the walk in closet. How do we choose who gets the larger closet? The bedrooms are the exact same size, other than the closets.By her own admission, she only has 2 totes of clothes, while I have a ton. P.s. I am providing all of the furniture for the common areas, and I did all the research into finding the great apartment.

Hey
Well, its a kind of awkward situation, I understand why you're asking for a solution. I would say that because you have the most clothes so you should get the bigger cupboard. But a walk-in closet sounds like its a got quite a lot of space, so how about you make a deal that if theres any of her stuff that she doesn't need access to all the time,like certain shoes or clothes only meant for a particular season, she could store some of them in you're closet, as imagine that you will not be able to completely fill it by yourself. That means that you will get the space you need but you're being considerate and allowing her to use some of it so shes more likely to say agree to you taking it, having realised how reasonable you are being. Chances are if she has such a small collection of clothes that if she does take you up on the offer it will only be a small amount of items she will give you.
You're definately entitled to the closet, I nearly always put my friends before myself, but if I was in your position where I'd done all the work for it and I had the most clothes I would just say to her 'considering I have the most clothes would it be okay if I took the bigger closet' and before she gets a chance to answer explain the compromise I suggested above.
Good Luck, hope you get it =)
