How roommate groups navigate long-term housing commitments for affordability

My roommates and I found an apartment we can afford together but only if we all stay for at least two years and we haven't figured out what happens if someone wants to leave or can't pay their share. We all need housing security but nobody wants to be trapped in a living situation that isn't working.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared economic necessity requires trust and commitment that exceeds the actual relationship between the people involved.
