1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this agreement is to establish a set of rules, responsibilities, and expectations for the Residents, to ensure peace, harmony, and effective collaboration within the Household. This agreement also aims to outline procedures for resolving disputes ensuring a cooperative living experience.

Ensuring harmony within a shared living space necessitates clarity and understanding among all residents. This agreement serves as a roadmap, guiding us towards a cohesive and respectful cohabitation experience.

By defining our roles and expectations upfront, we mitigate potential misunderstandings and foster an environment where everyone feels valued and heard. Through mutual respect and adherence to these guidelines, we strive to create a home that is not just a living space but a sanctuary for all.

2. RESPONSIBILITIES AND RULES

a. Chores: Residents agree to participate in household chores as outlined in the attached chore schedule. Tasks will be assigned and rotated to ensure fair distribution of responsibilities.

Any disputes or conflicts that may arise within the Household should be addressed with respect and understanding, with each party being given ample opportunity to voice their concerns or issues. Mediation or mutually agreed upon third-party conflict resolution methods may be used when necessary.

Resolving conflicts in a fair and equitable manner is essential for maintaining the cohesion and well-being of our household. By approaching disagreements with empathy and a willingness to listen, we create space for productive dialogue and mutual understanding.

In cases where resolution proves challenging, the option of mediation or involving a neutral third party ensures that conflicts are addressed impartially and with the best interests of all residents in mind.
