Rules:
Curfews:
-
We do not have curfews and do not monitor
the comings and goings of residents.
Guests:
-
You can have a guest visit, come to
dinner, and "hang out" - but you must be
with your guest. Guests
are not permitted to come and go independently.
Overnight
guests, however, are not permitted, except
spouses and spouse surrogates traveling from a long distance (such
as from Europe) for a short stay. (There is no
sleeping on the floor.) Visiting spouse must
be authorized and paid for in advance. There is a $7.50/night fee for authorized
overnight guests; unauthorized overnight guests (people sneaking in) are
charged $35/night. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend down the street,
we'll not rent to you because it is highly likely that the friend will
be here at night - and we do not want to do "bed checks". Again, the rooms
are for one person only.
Single Occupancy Only:
-
We do not have curfews and do not monitor
the comings and goings of residents.
Ambiance:
-
The house is quiet. Residents are focused
on serious pursuits, generally affiliated with the University and Labs.
This is not a "party" environment.
Possessions:
-
Residents are expected to keep their
personal possessions inside their rooms and to not clutter up the common
area with boxes or other things. Furniture in the rooms can not be moved
to other rooms or storage.
Cleaning Up:
-
Residents are expected to clean up
after their use of the kitchen and bathroom, and to clean
their own rooms.
Quiet:
-
Residents are expected to be
considerate of other residents, including
being especially quiet when people are sleeping. Official quiet hours are
11 pm to 7 am. There are no parties, except with prior approval.
Smoking:
-
There is no
smoking permitted inside the building. Smoking
is permitted on the front porch and deck.
Pets:
-
No pets are permitted in the building
and can not be kept on the premises. There is a pet boarding facility nearby.
Parking:
-
Residents must park
on the street. Residents and their guests
may not stop, load or park in building driveway whch belongs to the neighboring
building - even for a few minutes. Street loading and parking is very difficult.
Bringing your car is discouraged. There are two non-conforming parking
spaces (tamdem, one behind the other) available for small cars - with an
extra fee, and written agreement.
Mail:
-
Residents should make independent arrangements
for handling their mail after they leave. Mail is not
forwarded after departure.
Phone Calls:
-
Residents are encouraged to use cell
phone service. Residents wanting land-line phone service must arrange for
their own service with the carrier. Service from the local phone company
is inexpensive, but often the physical set-up is a hassle.
