Welcome to BrickUnderground's first-ever Roommates Week, wherein we attempt to demystify and de-stress that perennially complicated, almost unavoidable facet of New York City life: cohabiting with a roommate. From how-to guides to horror stories, for the next five days, we'll be covering shared accommodations from every angle.

Send us your questions, tips, yarns and anything else inspired by the fun and frustration of living with someone else. Drop us a line or get in touch via Facebook or Twitter.
