House Rules

These rules are non-negotiable—breaking any usually results in immediate membership revocation.

1. No Smoking or Candles: Smoking, vaping, or open flames not related to cooking (including candles) are strictly prohibited anywhere on the premises or within 15 feet of the property.

2. Adhere to guest limitations: One overnight guest allowed per night. Max 3 consecutive nights and 8 nights total per month. Max 4 daytime guests at once—you must accompany them. Never share access credentials.

3. Observe quiet hours (applies to everywhere on the property): Sunday through Friday: 9 PM–8 AM. Friday through Sunday: 11 PM–9 AM. No loud music, TV, or disruptive socializing. Sound should not carry beyond your room.

4. Respect the shared spaces and others using them. Respect the shared spaces as if they were a friend’s home—leave them better than you found them. All common areas, including the coworking space, gym, rooftop, and theater, are first come, first serve unless otherwise noted. Personal items may not be left unattended for more than 10 minutes; anything left longer may be removed to keep the space available for others. Please be courteous: don't be a space hog, use headphones, keep noise reasonable, and always clean up after yourself.

5. Respect others’ privacy, quiet enjoyment, time, wait times, assigned areas, and personal space. Never enter another member’s room without explicit permission. Don’t be a space hog or encroach upon others’ space. Keep noise to a minimum. Be thoughtful and considerate when others are waiting. Don’t touch items or use items in others’ designated storage areas. Shared restrooms are assigned to certain units and have designated storage for those specific units (members may use shared restrooms not assigned to them in emergencies).

6. Clean up after yourself in all shared spaces immediately. Wipe down surfaces, place dishes in dishwasher, remove laundry promptly, return moved items. No shoes, racks, or bags left in hallways.

7. Take out the trash. All trash should be taken down to the main trash room when full—including in bathrooms. Your personal trash should never go in the common area bins, as they’re meant for shared use and fill up quickly. Housekeeping will remove trash from common areas like kitchens twice a week, but members are expected to do their part to keep all spaces clean and tidy. Always break down boxes before tossing them. Never leave trash in hallways, common areas, or outside your door.

8. Keep the place secure and safe: Never prop open exterior doors. Don’t allow unknown individuals inside—when in doubt, leave them out. Lost cards will be deactivated and replaced. Do not bring hazardous items (e.g., weapons, explosives, flammables).

9. No cooking in rooms: Cooking is not permitted inside private rooms, including but not limited to the use of microwaves, air friers, or other applicances.

10. No pets: Pets are not permitted unless legally required (e.g., service animals).

11. No illegal or disrespectful activity: Illegal drug use, harassment or threatening behavior of any kind, unwarranted sexual advances, stealing, nudity in areas outside of your room, and anything not mentioned here that causes others to be fearful or disgusted will result in prompt membership revocation and removal from the community.
