Membership Guidelines

Welcome to the Community Room Rental! We’re so happy to have you as part of our community. To help us maintain a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable space for everyone, we’ve put together a few simple guidelines. These rules are designed to ensure that we all have a positive experience here, and we appreciate your cooperation in making this a welcoming environment for everyone.

Guests

Guest Limits: For a smooth co-living experience, we ask that guests stay no more than 3 days per month. This helps keep our spaces comfortable for everyone.
Example: If you’re planning a longer visit or gathering, please make sure to let your housemates know in advance!
Gathering Guidelines: If you’d like to host a gathering, just give your housemates at least three (3) days’ noticeand get their approval.
Example: Want to throw a movie night or have friends over? A quick heads-up keeps everyone in the loop!
Sharing Access Codes: To maintain security, please don’t share entry codes with anyone, whether they’re members or guests.
Single Occupancy: Rooms are for single occupancy only. This helps ensure everyone has their own private space to relax and recharge.

Conduct

Respect & Cleanliness: We all want a clean, comfortable space. Please help us keep both the inside and outside of the house tidy.
Example: After using the kitchen, clear the counters and wash your dishes! And let’s all pitch in to keep the common areas free of trash.
Consideration for Others: Think about how your actions impact others. Treat your fellow residents how you’d like to be treated.
Example: Keep noise to a reasonable level and be mindful of shared spaces like the kitchen or living areas.
Respectful Behavior: Let’s always show kindness and respect. Rude behavior, foul language, or yelling is not part of the vibe here.
Example: If there’s a disagreement, have a calm and respectful conversation—no shouting or negativity.
Violence & Threats: Violence, threats, or any form of aggression will not be tolerated. We aim to create a safe space for everyone.
No Pets (Except Service Animals): Pets aren’t allowed, but we’re happy to welcome pre-approved service animals.
No Cooking in Bedrooms: For safety reasons, cooking appliances like toasters and microwaves should stay in the kitchen.
Example: Please enjoy your meals in the kitchen, and save your bedroom for relaxation.
Quiet Time: We observe a quiet time from 10:00pm to 8:00am to ensure everyone gets a restful night’s sleep. Please keep noise levels low during this time.
Example: If you’re watching TV late, consider using headphones or lowering the volume.
Damage Responsibility: If something gets damaged during your stay, please take responsibility for it. We’ll work together to keep the space in great shape!

Smoking & Safety

No Smoking: For safety and health, smoking (including tobacco, marijuana, or incense) is strictly prohibited inside or outside the house.
Fire Safety: Space heaters and candles are not allowed due to fire safety concerns. Let’s all be mindful of keeping our shared spaces safe.
Access & Security: Please don’t allow anyone you don’t know into the house. Only authorized staff and contractors will be given access codes.
No Weapons: For everyone’s safety, firearms or weapons of any kind are not permitted.
Illegal Substances: The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited and can result in immediate termination of your membership.

Utilities & Vehicles

Conserving Utilities: Let’s be mindful of our utility usage, like water and electricity, to keep things sustainable.
Example: Close windows when the heat or air conditioning is on to conserve energy.
Vehicle Guidelines: You may park one vehicle per space. Please ensure your vehicle is properly registered and doesn’t block others.
Example: Don’t park on the grass or block mailboxes—keep the parking area clear for everyone.

Payments & Miscellaneous

Payment Integrity: Please use a valid payment method and keep your account funded to avoid issues. Payment disputes can disrupt the community, so let’s keep things smooth.
Furniture & Personal Property: Please keep all common area furniture in its place and avoid removing any items from shared spaces.
Business Activities: This is a living space, not a business. Please don’t operate a business from the rental, including holding meetings or using house resources for commercial purposes.
Staff Access: Our team is here to ensure everything runs smoothly. We may enter rooms to ensure the safety and maintenance of the property.
Personal Belongings: Please keep your personal property secure. We recommend having renter’s insurance in case of unexpected events.

Final Thoughts

We’re so excited to have you as part of our community. By following these guidelines, we can create a space where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued. Let’s work together to keep things clean, comfortable, and fun for all!
