House Rules
Below are the rules for all tenants living in our properties.
How do you keep the house so quiet and clean and friendly you ask?
you can always try out our houses, we just have one month commitments so
if you don't like it, you are not stuck. We
hope you find these rules make sense
House Rules
- Quiet after 9 pm. Also, we ask that you don't walk around the house with speaker phone on talking with your friends, please
use a headset. In your rooms, you can listen to movies on your computer and med to low volume, if you want louder use headset. Also for talking on phone,
if you keep your voice down in your room, that is fine. However, if you talk loudly, your voice will carry to other rooms so please use a headset.
- Do your dishes within 1.5 hours of cooking
- Do your weekly chore on Sunday Night
- no cooking after 9 pm
Bedrooms
SMOKING: no smoking in your room, in the living room, or near any of the house doors.
Bedroom cleaning: please don't keep dirty dishes and old food in your room, it attracts pests.
Guests over, yes you can have guests over, but you need to fill out a "guest form". Two reasons, we can let your other roomies have a heads up and they are not surprised and prevents partners "moving in". We generally keep one person per room
as it prevents too many using kitchen and bathroom traffic jams.
we don't provide sheets and blankets and pillows. You can buy a set from us and then sell it back if it is clean and in
good shape. Prices subject to change: blankets are $20, bed sheet $5, regular sheet $5, pillow $5, pillow cover $3
Bathrooms
s
Bathroom keeping it clean: clean it after you use it. Our goal is that when each person goes to use the bathroom, it is in good condition every day of the week.
So this requires roomies to clean it after you use it. Please rinse the shower or tub out after use.
If someone press the Bath Clock and rings the bells that means you have 7 minutes to finish the bathroom usage
Don't store your toothpaste/shampoo/soap For two reasons below, leave not personal belongings in the bathroom, no toothpaste, brushes, soap, or shampoo. Reason #1, it makes it hard to clean sink area and bathtub area as the cleaning person
has to move all this stuff and then try to put it back where it started. Reason #2 People move out they leave
shampoo and other stuff behind so we end up with a bunch of stuff that belongs to now one.
Don't clog the pipes buy removing our "hair catchers". Our drains plug from hair, use hair catchers. If you remove
them, clean them and put them back.
Houses with one Bathroom has cleaning rules to avoid problems, please remember cleaning the bath and wipe the floor with red towel after use.
USE OF COMMON AREAS:
Avoid Being Drunk inside the house, you can have a friendly drinking but avoid get drunk because it can cause troubles with other roommates.
our goal is to have uncluttered and clean common areas like living rooms and laundry rooms.
To achieve this goal, no personal belongings can be left in the common areas. Common areas can be used for short periods of study and work, but not
for extended periods as is should be a place of leisure
ENTERING THE HOUSE:
Smoking Weed: If you Smoke Weed please don't bring the smell inside the house.
Research is very clean, outdoor shoes contain contaminants. Lets to bring this into the house.
Please remove shoes or boots when entering the household, we strive to have a house that is easy to keep clean.
Please make sure that footwear is placed on an appropriate mat or boot tray.
There is no coat closet in the house. Please store in your room.
UTILITIES
We all want to save money and help the environment, so the following should help
Within reason, please turn off the lights when leaving the house or your room when you are not home. Also, when you are not home, turn off your computers and small heaters.
House thermostat should not be set higher than 20 degrees C
You can have a heater in your room, but, if you do, please use an oil heater as they
are most economical and still heat a room fairly fast, and please turn off when not home.
