These rules apply to every PadSplit. For house specific rules, please see your Member Dashboard. Violations of these rules are subject to our Three Keys Policy. Guests Due to the ongoing pandemic, there are no guests allowed in PadSplits. Only the designated Members of the home may be present at any time. Members may not share their entry codes with Members or non-Members. Only children previously approved by PadSplit prior to August 2021 are allowed in the home. Such children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times. Such children may not be left in the home or in the care of another PadSplit Member who is not the child’s parent or legal guardian. All other children are not permitted in PadSplit shared housing. Conduct Members are expected to keep the property clean at all times, both inside and out. Common areas must be kept free of trash and personal belongings, sinks must be kept clean and clear of items at all times and countertops and tables must be wiped down. Members must be respectful of Hosts, Host's staff, PadSplit staff and other Members at all times. Disrespectful behavior (foul language, rude behavior, yelling and screaming) is not tolerated.

Members are expected to keep noise to a reasonable level at all other times. Members agree to pay for any damage to the room or the home they caused. Smoking There is absolutely no smoking in the home. Smoking is the leading cause of home-fire deaths in the US, and as such, all forms of smoking or anything causing smoke is strictly prohibited. This means no smoking tobacco or marijuana or creating any kind of combustion-created smoke (burning incense, sage, etc). Candles are prohibited. Safety Do not open the PadSplit for anyone you don’t know. All PadSplit staff, contractors and prospective Members will be provided temporary access codes. Replacing, altering or damaging any locks on the property is strictly prohibited. Space heaters of any kind are strictly prohibited in the home, as they are the second leading cause of death from home fires. The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate Membership termination, removal and prosecution. Possession of firearms or weapons of any kind at the home is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate Membership termination and removal. Using a fake identity or having another individual book a room for you is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination. Utilities Our Members are responsible for conserving all utilities including power, water, gas and internet. At any time, and at the full discretion of PadSplit, utility costs may be passed onto the Members if utility consumption exceeds the budget for each home. Windows should remain closed at all times to conserve utilities. Only PadSplit staff, the Host and the Host's staff may control the thermostats and other climate control equipment. Members may not adjust the thermostat at any time. Vehicles Members are only allowed to bring a vehicle to properties with open spaces (open spaces are shown at booking).

Vehicles cannot block other vehicles, mailboxes or trash bins. Members cannot park on the grass or yard at their homes. These areas are no parking zones. When parking in a driveway, Members should make sure their vehicle does not touch a neighbor's property. Vehicles that are abandoned or blocking access will be towed at the Member's expense. Members are not allowed to do work on their vehicle at a PadSplit, other than changing a flat tire. Payments Using a stolen payment method is strictly prohibited. Excessive payment disputes on your account are a violation of our policy. Members must ensure that the accounts they use for payments are fully funded.
