Venmo etiquette for roommates
Pay promptly and label every transfer: “June utilities,” “paper goods,” or “rent share.” Avoid cryptic emojis or generic notes for serious household payments. The record may matter later.
Request money only after sharing the receipt and agreed split. Do not surprise roommates with a pile of old requests. Settle small expenses on a regular schedule and use one channel for questions.
Payment apps are convenient, not a substitute for a ledger. Keep screenshots or exports for rent, deposits, and major purchases.
