How does Home Sweet Homeshare ensure the safety and security of its users?
We take safety and security seriously.
All potential housemates undergo thorough background checks, in-person interviews, and reference checks before being approved for our platform.
Additionally, our secure payment processing system and customizable homesharing agreements provide added protection for both homeowners and housemates.
What are the expectations for household chores?
As a housemate, you'll be expected to contribute 10 hours of light housework per week.
This may include tasks such as cleaning common areas, preparing meals, running errands, or helping with laundry.
The specific chores and schedule will be agreed upon between you and your senior housemate during the homesharing agreement process.
Can I have guests or visitors while homesharing?
Guest and visitor policies will be determined between you and your senior housemate during the homesharing agreement process.
Most homeowners are open to occasional guests, but it's essential to discuss your needs and expectations upfront to ensure a smooth and respectful living arrangement.
As a general rule, for the safety of the homeowners, we do not allow overnight guests. If you want to have sleep overs with your romantic partner, you'll have to stay at their place. :)
