House rules
Rules:
Be respectful of others in the space. This means maintaining moderate quiet in work hours and generally think about how your behavior impacts the people around you. Quiet hours are before 7:00 am, and after 9:00 pm.
Please throw used toilet paper in the bin in the bathroom NOT in the toilet! We will have a clogged up septic and you will have to fix it.
If you generate any non-recyclable or non-biodegradable trash you must store it and take it with you when you leave.
No animals are allowed in the rooms unless otherwise stated.
Please keep the rooms clean and tidy. A messy room can attract mice, termites, and cockroaches to the entire house.
It's a shared space, so please confine your activity and noise to your room.
No meat allowed on the property.
No alcohol is allowed on the property, including in your bloodstream.
Be mindful that sleeveless shirts, short shorts (above the knee), low cut shirts, and tight or see-through clothing are considered risque to our neighbors. For your safety, the safety of others, and respect for our neighbors please dress conservatively. What might be normal for you, might be seen as weird or even offensive in rural India. Especially dressing and touching are sensitive topics. If you do not respect this rule after being informed you will be asked to leave.
