Community Guidelines & House Rules

1. Respect the Space & Each Other

This is your home—and your housemates' too. Be mindful of noise, keep common areas tidy, and treat others the way you’d want to be treated.

2. Open-Mindedness & Kindness

We welcome people from all walks of life. Please show consideration for different lifestyles, beliefs, and cultures. Discrimination, harassment, or hostile behavior will not be tolerated.

3. Communication is Key

If something’s bothering you—say it kindly. If you’re unsure—ask. Clear, respectful communication helps build trust and community.

4. Shared Responsibility

You’re expected to contribute to a clean, functional space. That means cleaning up after yourself, respecting chore systems (if applicable), and pitching in when needed.

5. Conflict Resolution

If a conflict arises, we encourage direct, respectful dialogue. If you need help, reach out to a Home Based host or coordinator—we’re here to support a healthy environment.

House Rules

These rules help maintain safety, clarity, and good vibes for all guests.

1. No Drugs Allowed

The use or possession of illegal drugs is not permitted on the property. This includes substances that may be legal in your home country but are not legal locally.

2. Outside Guest Policy

We love community, but for everyone's safety and comfort:

  • All outside guests must be approved at least 24 hours in advance

  • Guests must submit valid photo ID and complete the Home Based Guest Request Form

  • Outside guests may not remain in the house for more than 10 hours total

  • Overnight stays are not permitted for non-registered guests

Violation of this rule may result in removal from the experience without refund.

3. Quiet Hours

Please observe quiet hours between 10pm and 8am, especially in shared spaces and sleeping areas.

4. Safety & Security

Lock up when leaving, keep your personal belongings secure, and report anything that feels off. Everyone contributes to keeping the space safe.

Violations

Any violations of these guidelines or house rules may result in a warning, removal from the space, or forfeiture of your stay—without refund.

💛 We’re In This Together
