C. Upon signing, the security deposit is due immediately. The first month’s rent is due before you move in. You can pay all of it by either automated PAD, or manually by eTransfer autodeposit – whichever is more convenient for you. We only charge what you legally owe based on the agreement we signed. e-Transfers can be sent to: turtle.mountain.home@gmail.com

D. Pre-install Signal and follow the basic setup wizard. We will add you to our household chat on move-in.

E. Pre-install Sweepy and find where the Join a Household link is. It’ll request a QR code that we can give you on move-in.

If you need Wi-Fi, the info is on fridge.

1. Review and sign the Moving Checklist with the Caretaker. (To receive your full security deposit, you are responsible for leaving your room as clean or cleaner than you receive it; the furniture, surfaces, and finishes as undamaged as you receive them. Take pictures of pre-existing damage.)

2. Create an account and sign in to Signal. Join our house chat once you’re registered. Finally, introduce yourself on the group chat.

3. Your Caretaker will produce a QR code that you can use to join your Sweepy app to an existing household. Mark your room clean on the household cleaning app, Sweepy. If you can’t figure out how to mark it done, review the Sweepy Video from the Orientation and then ask any remaining questions to your Caretaker.

4. Next, receive a door access code. If you are struggling to use it, please review the Front Door Video from the Orientation.

5. (optional) If you want to use the household printer, it can be useful to install the household Printer App (HP Smart).

Welcome Home, Neighbour! ^.^

Familiarize Yourself with Our Values

Accountability
“It’s okay that life happens. What matters is that you make it right as best as you can.”
  • We consider how our behaviours are impacting other people
  • We pay for any damage we, our pets, or our guests cause
  • We observe quiet hours 11 PM – 7 AM
Kindness
“You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.” – Publilius Syrus
  • We encourage direct, clear, kind conflict resolution
  • We support progressive improvements and work with each other
  • If they haven’t changed the behaviour, continue direct communication
  • Assume best intentions about other people. They probably are not trying to ruin your life by leaving dishes in the sink or making noise late at night; and they need to know it’s bothering you to change. Be polite and compassionate. If you don’t know how, ask chatgpt.com
  • We facilitate resolutions where necessary

Our Values

Communication
“People can’t fix what they don’t know they’re doing.”
    • We maintain a calm, kind, compassionate demeanor when resolving conflict
    • We recognize everyone makes mistakes but sometimes they’re unaware
Respect
"Ask first!"
  • We foster an inclusive house culture that welcomes folks regardless of race, gender, sex, origin, religion, ability, or creed
  • Leave communal spaces better than you found them.
  • You may only enter another’s room, touch or eat their food, borrow anything of theirs, or give them a hug/touch them with their permission
