Keep It Simple, Organized, and Stress-Free
Households with Unrelated Roommates (2023)
Report Moving as Highly Stressful
Experience Relocation Regrets
In 2025, shared housing remains a staple for millions, with a record-high 6.8 million households living with unrelated roommates or boarders as of 2023—driven by affordability challenges where low-income renters often pay over half their income on housing. If you've ever split a lease, you know how complicated it can be when it's time to move out.
With 14.4 million Americans in non-family roommate arrangements and 92% of movers facing challenges like stress (82% report it as highly stressful, often more than divorce), shared moves amplify tensions—leading to regrets for 70% of relocators. PackEmStackEm's Roommate Packing Services take the hassle out of shared living transitions by providing individual packing, labeling, and organization for each roommate's belongings.
Real stories from platforms like X highlight common pitfalls, such as sudden move-outs with short notice or conflicts over shared items, underscoring the need for structured services. Our approach addresses these head-on with solutions that keep everyone happy and organized.

Personalized prep to avoid the annoyances noted in roommate challenges, like not replacing essentials or eating leftovers. Everyone knows exactly what to prepare.
Maintaining privacy in shared environments, where sacrifices in independence are a top concern. Each person's space is treated separately and respectfully.

These are the real situations we help you avoid, based on actual experiences shared by roommates across social media platforms.
