## Resource

Two friends bought a house together, hoping to beat the housing market—but their friendship turned toxic when finances got involved. One moved his cooking gear into his room to avoid sharing space, and eventually one bought out the other. But the drama didn’t end there: the friend who stayed sued for rent and shared expenses, while the one who left countered with legal costs. The Disputes Tribunal ruled each owed the other $233—a fair split that canceled out both losses. It’s a cautionary tale: buying property with friends may be the only way to get in, but lawyers warn it’s fraught with pitfalls. Clear agreements upfront are non-negotiable.
