Guides & Tools
Working Documents for Your Shared House
The free articles above are starter guides. The template packs are the editable documents, checklists, and forms you use when you are ready to put the system into practice.
Use the Operational Template Pack for move-ins, move-outs, house tours, resident communication, maintenance checks, day-to-day house systems, and more.
Use the Legal Template Package for the room rental lease, community contract, addenda, and notices.
Together, the two packs give you the working documents behind both sides of the house: how it runs day to day, and what residents agree to before they move in.
