Rooms

Rooms are large private areas for single occupancy only. You will not be able to move any extra furniture into the room. You are responsible to keep your room clean and tidy. Do not hang wet clothes or towels of any kind in your room. This prevents the spread of mildew to your clothes and the room. A vacuum is provided for you to clean your room when needed. No hanging anything on the wall of the room. Room fresheners are not allowed and can cause headaches and other illnesses for other people in the house. No candles in the room because of the fire hazard.

Be sure to vacuum your room at least once a month. You are also responsible to wash and dry the sheets on the bed at least once a month.
Each room has a bed, desk, chair, large closet, lamp, and drawers. No smoking in rooms or any other part of the house. Do not put anything on the window sills, like books, cups, or stuff. This stuff leaves marks on the window sill and is difficult to clean.

Kitchen

There are no kitchen privileges and it is closed at all times for renters use.

Breakfast and Dinner

Dinner is provided Monday through Thursday. This meal is served buffet style where you can choose for yourself what to eat. All renters are expected to eat dinner in the dining room together if you are here. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit with each other and relax from a busy day.

Dinner is served at 6:30 pm, there are no late meals. If you are unable to make it to dinner, plan to eat out. We do expect you to let us know if you can not attend dinner by 12 noon that day. There are no saved meals. All meals, snacks and beverages are complimentary.

Breakfast is continental and you can choose what is available at that time. Breakfast is served from 7am to 9 am everyday. All meals are complimentary. Brunch is served on Sunday at 11:00 am.

Laundry and Lounge

A washer and dryer is provided for all renters and is free. Laundry hours are from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. All laundry must be washed and dried by 9:00 pm. Renters must be in the house when washing or drying their laundry. We also provide laundry detergent.The lounge is a large and open area for all renters to use. A microwave is provided for all renters to use. A small refrigerator is provided in the laundry room for renters to use.

Bathrooms

Each renter will share a bathroom with other renters and are expected to keep it clean. A caddy is provided for you to carry all your personal items with you when you use the bathroom because you will not be able to store any personal items in the bathroom. All counters, mirror, toilet, floors, shower or tub, are to be left clean and dry. Always use the fan when taking a shower or bath. Always spread the shower curtain when finished taking a shower. The bathroom door is to be left open at all times when not in use. There are towel racks in each bathroom for you to hang your wet towels.

Quiet Hours

We require all renters to respect the quiet hours. This is from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am everyday. All renters are asked to finish all your activities in the house by this time and plan to take a shower before quiet hours begin. Always be respectful of each other and wear appropriate clothing at all times. Remember when departing for any traveling plans to leave before 5 pm at night or after 6 am in the morning. It is very disrupting to other renters to hear you moving in and out at odd hours. You can plan to stay at the Garden Hilton a few hours early to catch a van to the airport and be safe and warm. This is important to remember when moving out at the end of your stay.

Rent

Rent is due on the 1st day of each month. I expect you to pay your rent before that day if you are planning on continuing to live here. Each renter is allowed to keep renting each month if they are in good standing and comply with all the house rules and all application form information has not changed. If you pay rent for a month, but for some reason decide to leave, your rent money will not be refunded. If you wish to leave for an extended time you need to notify the house manager. If you wish to leave the house for any reason you must take all your items with you when you leave the premises. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged items and you will need to get renters insurance if this is a concern for you.

Mail

We are not responsible for any mail or packages should you move out. You are required to make sure you stop all letters and packages. All mail or packages coming after you leave will be sent back to the sender. This is a federal law requirement. If you receive any boxes you will need to flatten them and put them in the garbage. Please be prepared to pay an extra deposit for garbage if you accumulate more garbage from packages or food items than normal.

Guests

A guest is allowed in the house from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm any day of the week. Make sure the house managers are aware of any guest you may have over. You are responsible for your guests at all times and you need to be here when they are here. We encourage you to invite guests for dinner. Please let management know a few days in advance if you invite someone for dinner. Depending on the time or amount of guests there may be a charge for this dinner.
