House rules / living expectations: all residents share cleaning duties and are responsible for maintaining common areas clean including bathrooms and kitchens. Tenants are assigned communal areas to clean (based partly on use). Assigned areas are subject to change, but changes require unanimous agreement of all other tenants. Expenses for cleaning supplies used in designated areas are the responsibility of the tenant assigned to that area. If tenants observe failure of cleanliness by another tenant, a meeting will be held by all tenants to address and resolve the failure to comply with house rules. Kitchen/cooking areas must follow the motto “Leave it the way you found it”: wipe counters before you leave, wash dishes before you leave, sweep/mop when necessary, and take out trash when full (never overstuffed or smashed down). Kitchen supply costs are split among tenants with receipts provided before payment. Tenants must be included and active on the house group text to keep up with house matters. No loud parties; obey noise laws.

Guests: day guests allowed with notice via group text. Overnight guests require unanimous approval of all tenants. Extended overnight stays (more than one night) require unanimous approval, guest introduction, and may not exceed 1 week.

Historic home care (legal): tenants understand the home is one of few historic homes still standing in Long Beach and is legally held to a higher standard of home care and cleanliness. Tenants are forbidden from causing further imperfection to the original red wood found throughout the house; no drilling, nailing, taping, or tacking on any original wood/historic surfaces. Any damage must be reported immediately to property management; consequences may include removal.
