This guide outlines the essential house rules for guests staying at multifamily apartments where no background check is required. These rules ensure a respectful, safe, and smooth experience for all guests and neighbors.
Why This Matters
To maintain the integrity of the property and ensure a pleasant living environment for all, it is crucial that guests follow building regulations. Violations may lead to fines, removal from the property, or cancellation of the reservation.
What You Need
Booking must be confirmed.
All guests must be registered prior to check-in.
Pets (if any) must be approved and registered in advance.
Guest must acknowledge and agree to all house rules upon booking.
Steps (House Rules Breakdown)
Check-in / Check-out
Check-in: Flexible after 4 PM
Check-out: 11 AM sharp
Late checkout incurs a $50/hour fee unless pre-approved.
Quiet Hours
Enforced from 9 PM – 10 AM on weekdays and weekends.
No Smoking Indoors
Fine: $500
Smoke damage removal is time-consuming and expensive.
Pet Policy
This decision rests with your specific brand and business model. However, to minimize potential property damage and maintenance complications, we generally recommend a no-pet policy. No pets allowed. Fine: $500 for evidence of pets inside the property.
If you allow pets on your property, please note that certain breed restrictions apply, including but not limited to Mastiffs, Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and Doberman Pinschers. Pets must not exceed 35 lbs in weight. Additionally, a photo of the pet and up-to-date vaccination records are required prior to check-in.
Important Compliance Note: Regardless of your policy, you must comply with ADA regulations. If a guest arrives with a service animal, you are legally permitted to ask only two questions:
Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
Note: You may not request medical documentation or inquire about the nature of the disability.
Pet Etiquette
Pets must use designated potty areas.
Violations may result in cancellation without refund.
No Parties or Unauthorized Gatherings
Fine: $1,000 for deceitful group usage.
Tampering with noise/smoke sensors: additional $250 fine.
Parking Rules
