Share houses are designed for residents to enjoy a community built together with other housemates as the main focus of their life. While Roopt encourages residents to use the share house freely and responsibly, we do not permit private use that may offend other residents. Residents are expected to behave like responsible adults and agree to the following house rules.

■ About cleaning

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

Please sort your waste into combustible waste, non-combustible waste (plastics, metals, glass, etc.), plastic bottles, and cans, and cooperate with waste disposal. However, please follow your local government's rules regarding sorting.

■Regarding common areas
