Quarterly House Meeting


We highly value creating a comfortable living environment for all our tenants. To make this happen, we hold quarterly meetings within each home. These meetings serve as a space for open discussion and decision-making. The main goal is to go over HomeRoom's general rules and to talk about any specific needs or issues within each house. We believe that a positive living space comes from mutual respect for individual choices and a shared understanding of house rules.

Meeting Agenda

  • Food Storage and Cleanliness: Establish ground rules about who gets to use which sections of the fridge and cupboards and their corresponding cleaning periods. This way, everyone can keep their groceries organized.

  • General Upkeep: It's everyone's job to keep common areas clean. Consider setting up a chore schedule to make this easier. Our HomeRoom Chore Wheel is a good tool for this. However, a simple list will suffice. Include waste management, and handle recycling and garbage disposal accordingly. Keep your home eco-friendly.

  • Issue Resolution and Communication: Got an issue? Let’s talk about it. Minor problems can usually be resolved quickly when everyone is open and respectful. Any ongoing issues should be saved for the meeting so they can be discussed openly.

  • Common Space, Laundry, and Parking: Make sure we're all fair about using shared spaces like the living room, laundry area, and parking spaces. And remember, if you break an appliance, it's on you to cover the repair or replacement costs. Report any violations promptly to avoid incurring charges for which you are not responsible.

  • Maintenance: If something in the house needs fixing, report the issue via the HomeRoom App. For minor maintenance tasks costing below $50.00, such as changing a light bulb or replacing a filter, the responsibility falls on the residents to handle these matters amongst themselves.

  • Shared Expenses: Discuss how to split the costs for common items like cleaning supplies, shared groceries, or even streaming service subscriptions.

  • Security: Ensure you are all remembering to lock doors and windows. Review any security concerns, and ensure Rently Hub remains active.

  • Community Activities: We highly encourage 'Taco Tuesday' or 'Roommate Nights' to foster community spirit within the residence.
