House Rules
- Front Door - when leaving, you must always lock the front door unless you communicate with someone else still at home who will lock it after you leave. When you lock the door, please check that it is locked and make sure you have your house key with you. This is VERY important as the door does NOT self-lock. My not abiding to this rule, will be a problem. - Curfew - Weeknights, you must by home by 10 pm. And weekends home by 12 am. If you will be later than usual, (ie. usually home by dinner but staying out a little later), please let us know via text or call. - Guests - please ask us before inviting guests. We would like to meet your friends and therefore guests are NOT allowed when we (Jason/Elaine) are not home. We also cannot accommodate overnight guests. - Quiet Time - is 10pm on weeknights. Please limit noise and keep voices quiet after this time if you are studying late. - Bedroom cleaning - the vacuum is in the closet beside the 2 piece bathroom (powder room) on your floor. Please help yourself to that appliance and any other cleaning supplies under the bathroom sink. You will be responsible for cleaning your own linens as well. Let us know if you need any extra supplies. We recommend you vacuum once a week to keep dust under control. - Bathrooms - note that we do not offer private bathrooms. Please keep counters clean (wipe off excess water). Note the personal items in the powder room may be asked to be removed when we have family/friends visiting. When taking a shower upstairs, please turn on the bathroom fan (timer buttons beside the light switch) to ensure that steam can escape (to prevent mold). The window by the shower is protected by a curtain during use. When finished, please open the curtain so that the air can circulate from the window (and prevent mold). - you may also keep your toiletries in the shower on the rack and you can use a basket in the 2nd drawer to store things. The hooks behind the door can be used to store your bath towel when not in use. - Meals - Breakfast - most mornings we will prepare breakfast but sometimes this is not possible so please feel free to prepare your own breakfast (ie. yogurt, toast, cereal, fruit, etc) Half Board (available for extra cost) - Dinner Full Board (available for extra cost) - Lunch and Dinner - Cooking - When you are new to our home (less than 3 months stay so far) for safety reasons, if you would like to cook, we have to be home/present. We want to make sure you are aware of all the safety measures especially if you are in inexperienced cook. Also when you use the kitchen, you must clean up after dishes, pans/pots and cooking utensils and put away.
