When living with other people, it's pretty common to share stuff; it just doesn't make sense to have two (or more) of everything just so that everyone has an equal stake over their own things and no one has to touch each other's stuff. Sure, you'll probably have personal, possibly sentimental items like mugs and things that you keep for yourself—and that your roommates will happily use and carelessly break for you—but by the time you have two TVs, two fridges, four couches, and three washing machines things are definitely getting out of hand.
So, yeah, it makes a lot of sense for one person to have these big items if they're not already in the place you're renting. Usually, it will just work out that one of the roommates already had a lot of furnishings from a previous living arrangement anyway.

When this guy's roommate randomly asked him to move out five months after moving into what had otherwise been a functional living arrangement, he was pretty surprised. He agreed but noted to his roommate that pretty much everything in the apartment, everything essential at least, had been purchased out of his own pocket.
So, when moving day came, everything was packed and went into the moving truck, leaving a stunned roommate behind who had not quite grasped when their request and the ensuing warnings had met.
The funniest thing about this is that surely you'd be able to look around the apartment and take note of the things that you owned and the things that weren't yours. So, the roommate being surprised by the situation is a level of cluelessness that is so ridiculous it's almost admirable. Commenters responded to the poster's story, largely declaring that he was not in the wrong for taking his own things out of the apartment. At the end of the day… how could he possibly be wrong here?
