Share houses are designed for residents to enjoy a community co-created with other housemates as the main focus of their lives. Roopt encourages free use of the share house in accordance with the good sense of its residents, but does not permit private use that would make other residents uncomfortable. Residents are expected to act as responsible adults and agree to the following house rules.

■ Regarding Cleaning

As a general rule, residents are responsible for cleaning and taking out the trash themselves. While the management (Makigumi Inc.) will conduct cleaning periodically, maintaining the share house environment in daily life is the responsibility of the residents.

Please sort trash into burnable, non-burnable (plastic, metal, glass, etc.), PET bottles, and cans, and cooperate with trash disposal. However, please follow local government rules for sorting.
