今年の春から東京の大学に行くため、いよいよ親元を離れることに。しかし、両親が「女の1人暮らしは怖い」「東京って物騒だから、できるだけ人通りが多くてセキュリティーのしっかりしているマンションじゃないとダメ」と、なかなか1人暮らしを許してくれませんでした。一緒にマンションを探してくれていた不動産の人も苦笑してしまうほど。すると「それなら、シェアハウスはいかがですか?女性専用のところもありますし、複数人で住むので1人暮らしよりも安心かと思います」と不動産の人がアドバイスをくれました。確かに以前テレビで特集されていたのを見た覚えがあります。一軒家を複数人でシェアし、キッチンやお風呂は共同で使い、部屋はそれぞれに与えられているというもの。物件にもよるそうですが、家賃と共益費を払うだけで良く、面倒な電気やガスの契約手続きも必要ないそうです。家具とかもすでにあるため、わざわざ買い揃える必要もないし、身軽に引っ越しができるのもシェアハウスのメリット。これを聞いた両親は、「シェアハウスなら安心!」とようやく承諾してくれたんです。親元を離れることはもちろん、東京暮らしも初めてなので、誰かに頼れる環境というのは私としても非常に安心できました。不動産の人のおかげで、不安だった新生活が期待でいっぱいになりました。
If you are worried about life in Tokyo, Share house is recommended
I will leave my parents in order to go to college in Tokyo from this-coming spring. However, my parents are “scared” of my living by myself. “Because Tokyo is noisy and dangerous, you need to find an apartment with strong security” is what they say and they didn’t give me a green light to start a new life in Tokyo. A man from a real estate company who helped me finding a house smiled grimly at their overprptection to me. After all, he kindly recommended, “How about a share house? There is also a house for women only, and I think that the life will be more secure than living alone because you live with other people”. Like this, the real estate man gave me advice. I certainly remember seeing the feature previously broadcast on TV. A house is shared by several people, a kitchen and a bath are shared, but a room is given to each. It seems that it depends on the property, but all you can pay is rent and common expenses. It seems that it is not necessary to make electricity and gas contract procedures. There is already furniture and so there is no need to buy it, and it is also merit of share house that you can easily move out. Parents who heard this finally agreed with us that “Share house is safe!” It is my first time to live in Tokyo as well as leaving my parents, so the fact that I was able to rely on someone relaxes me very much. Thanks to the real estate man, my worry about a new life hac changed to bright expectations.
