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
- •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 suprised and prevents partners "moving in". We generally keep one person per room
as it prevents too many using kitchen and bathroom trafficjams
Bathrooms
- •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.
- • Don't store your toothpaste/shampoo/soap For two reasons below, leave not personal belongings in the bathroom, no toothbase, 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.
- Each house usually has atleast 2 bathrooms, if the bathroom you usually use is busy, you can use
the other bathroom in the house.
USE OF COMON AREAS:
- • 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.
ENTERING 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.
Pleae 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.
Move in forms
- •Everyone needs to complete a move in form and a move out form
- •We require 72 hours after check out to return damage deposit. We do not do same day damage deposit return because we are not
going to drive to the house just to do your move out inspection as it is not time effective. If you require this, please do
not rent from us.
- To get your full damage deposit, your current chore must be done well or we will deduct the cost to fix your chore from damage deposit
- •Chores watch you text messages on Tuesday. On tuesday you should get a text that tells you what to for this weeks cleaning chore is. Tuesday to Saturday, just sort of maintain the area and on Sunday do a deep clean If you are on kitchen, maintenance means emptying the kitchen garbages almost daily and putting dishes on the drying rack away every night.
