House Rules Screen

The House Rules Screen is designed to outline the rules and expectations for guests staying at your property. Whether it's prohibiting parties, smoking, or unregistered visitors, this screen allows you to clearly communicate your policies. By ensuring that guests agree to these rules before proceeding with check-in, you can prevent potential issues and maintain a harmonious environment.

What Are House Rules?

House rules are guidelines and expectations set by the property manager that guests must agree to before staying at the property. These rules can cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • No Parties: Prohibiting parties or large gatherings.
  • No Smoking: Banning smoking inside the property.
  • No Unregistered Visitors: Restricting access to the property to registered guests only.
  • Quiet Hours: Setting specific times during which noise must be kept to a minimum.
  • Pet Policies: Outlining whether pets are allowed and any related conditions.
