IMPORTANT – Non‑Negotiable Rental Conditions Because of issues we’ve had in the past, we want to be clear up front. For this reason, we will NOT rent this room to you if you are:

1. A heavy drug user, meth addict, or out‑of‑control drunk.
2. Dramatic, destructive, or non‑coherent (e.g., damaging property, leaving doors unlocked, leaving the stove on).
3. Seeking a party/PNP house or bringing in unwanted guests (the room is rented to you, not others).
4. Unable to take care of yourself and expecting others to clean up after you.
5. Expecting us to handle your personal responsibilities (e.g., wiping counters after you cook, doing your dishes, emptying the dishwasher, cleaning the toilet after use, or maintaining your fridge).
6. Looking for a “Mommy or Daddy” to oversee or correct any of the above.
