Conduct during the stay

1. Treat the staff and other residents with respect

We are an inclusive community. We encourage diversity and this means we have people with different levels of income, education, backgrounds & culture. We have a no-tolerance policy for the following.

• Bullying, defaming, abusing, harassing, harming or threatening anyone (including our staff) during your stay at CLOUD CITADEL is ground for immediate dismissal with no compensation.
• Making any bigoted, hateful, or racially offensive statements during your stay at CLOUD CITADEL is not allowed.
• You may not advocate illegal activity or discuss illegal activities with the intent to commit them or cause injury or property damage to any person.

2. Be proactive in creating your own experience

We have three Community Managers onsite to facilitate your coliving experience. Their tasks include:

• Facilitate the organisation of activities
• Checkin & checkout the guests
• Help you with basic issues

Keep in mind that they have a part-time position and therefore are not a 24/7 concierge service. They will gladly guide you to create your own experiences and events, but it is up to you to take the lead and organize the activities and events you’d like to see happen.

3. Report any relevant feedback to the Community Managers

If you encounter any issue with the house, the other residents, or something not up to your expectations, please contact one of our community managers to explain your situation. We can solve problems only if we know about them and we will do our best to solve any issue as quickly as we can. Please keep in mind that depending on the level of the problem it can take a significant amount of time.

4. Follow our house-specific rules to keep the house tidy and noise level low

We have a cleaning professional coming five days per week. However, for the wellbeing of the community, we expect the residents to keep the house tidy and clean after themselves. We have a no-noise policy after 10:30 pm during the week and 12:30 am on Friday and Saturday. Our residents are working and we want to ensure everyone has a productive stay.

5. Inviting friend and acquaintances

Creating a safe environment for the colivers is of utmost importance for us. We therefore don’t accept any acquaintances, friends or family members to enter the house. Aiding an unauthorised person to access the house is grounds for removal. 

We reserve the right to refuse to further accommodate guests behaving irresponsibly and contractual obligations will be terminated. We reserve the right to stop all communications with guests disrespecting our code of conduct and will be blocking them from our social media channels, our internal communication channels, and our email list.
