Share houses are designed for residents to enjoy a community created in collaboration with other housemates as the main focus of their lives. Roopt encourages free use of the share house based on the good judgment of its residents, but does not permit private use that may cause discomfort to other residents. Residents are expected to act as responsible adults and agree to the following house rules.
