Caring for them is part of caring for the community and for whoever sleeps there after you. ## Room Assignment Rooms are assigned first-come first-served, with priority for longer stays; twin beds go preferentially to families, elders, and couples (see [What to Expect](/onboarding/what-to-expect.md)). The available rooms and their capacity are listed in [Accommodation Details](/onboarding/accommodation-details.md). Spaces are ultimately allocated by the stewards based on the needs of the community, duration of stay, and type of contribution (see [Financial Contribution](/onboarding/financial-contribution.md)). ## During Your Stay * Keep the room tidy: store belongings properly and keep the floor clear. * Air the room daily by opening the windows; close them when rain or wind is expected. * Don't accumulate dishes or food in the room — it attracts insects and other visitors. Non-perishable personal food is the exception (see [Food Storage](/protocols/kitchen/food-storage.md)). * No shoes inside: we don't use shoes in the common spaces, and rooms are no different. * Turn off lights and heating/cooling when you leave, and use them mindfully (see [Utilities](/protocols/household/utilities.md)). * In shared rooms, be considerate with light, noise, and space; use headphones and coordinate rhythms with your roommates. * Don't move furniture between rooms or attach things to the walls without asking first. * If you stay in a caravan, follow the [Caravans Use](/protocols/household/caravans-use.md) protocol. ## Weekly Care * Sweep or vacuum the floor (the robot vacuum can help). * Dust surfaces and windowsills. * Empty your rubbish. * Check for moisture or mold and report it if found. ## When You Depart Follow the departure checklist in [Arrivals and Departures](/onboarding/arrivals-and-departures.md): * Remove your bedsheets and bring them to the laundry room (wash and hang them, or arrange for someone to do it). * Clean the room: dust, vacuum, clean windows and mirrors, mop the floor. * Remove all personal belongings and take out your garbage. * Return anything you borrowed. * Leave the room cleaner than you found it — this is also the condition for getting your deposit back, and a regenerative deep clean earns you extra bonus points. ## Report to the Stewards * Broken furniture, fixtures, windows, or screens * Leaks, electrical problems, or heating/cooling malfunctions * Pest sightings, mold, or moisture issues Your room is your sanctuary within the community — please care for it accordingly. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.liminalvillage.com/protocols/household/rooms.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
