We’re extremely reasonable hosts — please know that common sense always applies to all of these rules. You never have to worry about excessive checkout chores (there are none), unfair charges, or any intrusion of privacy.

We pride ourselves on being some of the kindest and most understanding hosts you’ll ever meet.

These guidelines exist only to protect against egregious or disrespectful behavior and to ensure every guest enjoys a clean, safe, and five-star experience. If you’re a respectful guest, you’ll have absolutely no issues with any of this!

🔹QUIET HOURS: (8PM - 8AM)

Please be respectful of neighbors and other guests in the building. Keep noise, TV, music, and conversation at a reasonable level during quiet hours.

If a noise complaint is received and ignored, a $200 fine per disturbance may apply.

🔹NO PARTIES OR EVENTS

Our building enforces a strict no-party policy. Hosting gatherings, bringing in unregistered guests, damaging the unit, or disrupting neighbors may result in a $1,000 fine and immediate removal without refund.

🔹NO SMOKING OR VAPING

Smoking or vaping of any kind is strictly prohibited inside the unit or in common areas. A $500 fine will apply for violation of this rule.

🔹NO UNAUTHORIZED GUESTS (WITH REASONABLE EXCEPTIONS)

We understand that sometimes friends or family may stop by briefly during your stay — that’s totally fine. This rule mainly applies to unauthorized overnight guests or large, unapproved gatherings.

Please just send us a quick message if you have visitors and there will be no issue.

If a guest hosts unapproved overnight stays, a party, or a disruptive gathering, a $25 fine per unauthorized guest may apply.

🔹NO ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

Any illegal activity — including but not limited to drug use, possession, distribution, theft, vandalism, fraud, or any other criminal conduct — is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of the stay with no refund.

We cooperate fully with local law enforcement when necessary to protect the safety of our guests, staff, and neighbors. Tampering with smoke detectors, security devices, or access systems also falls under this policy.

🔹SECURITY DEVICES

For safety and compliance, all of our properties have exterior security cameras to help protect our guests, staff, and property. Tampering with, disabling, or covering these devices is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate removal without refund.

There are no cameras or recording devices inside any apartment or home. All cameras are located only on the exterior of the property, including entryways, parking areas, and common spaces (if applicable). These devices are solely for security and guest safety purposes.

🔹DAMAGES & INCIDENTALS

We understand that small accidents can happen — please just let us know right away so we can take care of it promptly. Significant or unreported damage may result in charges to cover repairs or replacement.

If you’d like extra peace of mind, you can purchase an optional Damage Waiver (Typically $15/ day) through your Guest Portal to cover most accidental damages during your stay.

🔹PETS & ANIMALS

We’re happy to welcome well-behaved pets! Please ensure they are leashed at all times when in hallways, shared spaces, or outdoors. Pets should not be left alone in the unit for extended periods, especially if they are anxious or prone to barking, scratching, or chewing when in an unfamiliar environment.

Guests are responsible for any excessive cleaning, noise complaints, or damages caused by their pets.

🔹CHECK IN: 4PM

Early check-in may be available depending on our cleaning schedule—please ask ahead of time.

🔹CHECK OUT: 11AM

Late check-out without prior approval may result in a fee, as it impacts our cleaning schedule and future guests. Please ask us if you'd like a late check out and we'll always do our best to accommodate you.

🔹GUEST VERIFICATION

We reserve the right to request a government-issued photo ID from any guest at any time prior to check-in prior to verify reservations and prevent unauthorized parties or guests.

Failure to provide valid ID, or if the ID does not match the name on the reservation, or if the ID appears to not be of the person booking the reservation, may result in cancellation at no penalty to the host.

🔹LOCAL BOOKINGS + LAST MINUTE RESERVATIONS

Reservations made by guests who reside within the Pittsburgh area and/or reservations booked within 48 hours of check-in may be subject to additional verification and screening prior to arrival.

In these cases, guests with limited review history (fewer than five positive reviews from at least three different hosts), any prior negative host feedback, incomplete verification, or failure to cooperate with screening requests may be denied access to the property and/or have their reservation canceled at no penalty to the host (consequence free).

As part of this screening process, the host may consider factors including, but not limited to, review history, prior host feedback, account age, profile completeness, responsiveness to screening requests, stated purpose of stay, occupancy details, and other reservation-related information.

The host reserves the right to decline or cancel reservations that do not satisfy our screening requirements or that appear inconsistent with the intended use of the property. Screening decisions are made solely for property protection, guest safety, compliance with house rules, and the prevention of unauthorized parties, excessive noise, smoking violations, fraud, illegal activity, property damage, or other conduct that may negatively impact the property or surrounding community.

While the vast majority of guests pass this process without issue, local and last-minute reservations are statistically associated with a higher risk of parties, unauthorized visitors, property damage, and rule violations. As a result, additional verification may be required before access instructions are provided.

By booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to all house rules.

Fines and penalties may be applied through Airbnb’s Resolution Center or via our website.

Thank you for helping us keep our homes peaceful and comfortable for everyone!
