Introduction
House Rules form the backbone of a smooth rental experience. This section of your Elev listing lets you communicate your expectations clearly, ensuring that all tenants understand the living standards of your property.
Navigating the House Rules Interface
On your screen, you'll see simple toggles and a text area. Here's how to use them effectively:
Standard Rules
Why It's Important: Standard rules about pets, smoking, and your presence on the property are foundational for setting the right expectations. How to Set:
Pets: Use the toggle to indicate if pets are allowed.
Smoking: Choose 'Yes' or 'No' to specify your policy on smoking within the property.
Host Presence: Indicate whether you'll be living on the premises to inform tenants about the living dynamic.
Additional Rules
Why They Matter: Here, you can address more specific concerns and lay down rules that might not be covered by the standard options. How to Add:
Click 'Edit' to write out any additional rules.
Consider including guidelines on noise, use of communal areas, overnight guests, and cleanliness.
Examples of Additional Rules
Noise: "Quiet hours are from 11 pm to 7 am."
Shared Spaces: "The living room and kitchen are communal - please clean up after use."
Visitors: "Overnight guests are allowed with prior notice."
Legal and Respectful Boundaries
Always ensure your house rules respect tenant rights and local housing laws. Discrimination of any form is not only unethical but also illegal.
FAQs
Q: How can I make sure my house rules are fair and enforceable?
A: Set rules that are reasonable, clear, and applicable to all tenants equally. It's also a good idea to explain the reasoning behind each rule.
Q: What if I need to change my house rules after publishing my listing?
A: You can update your house rules at any time, but communicate any changes to current tenants and update your listing for future tenants.
Q: How specific should I be in the Additional Rules section?
A: Provide clear and concise rules. If a rule requires more detail, provide context to avoid any ambiguity.
Q: Can I set rules for areas outside the property, like the yard or parking?
A: Yes, include any rules for property-related areas that tenants have access to, ensuring these are also clear and fair.
