Rural Utilities & Infrastructure Water & Septic: The landlord covers well water and septic maintenance costs. The tenant must strictly follow the standard septic rules. Electricity: The tiny home is limited to an RV type connection to the main home. The tenant agrees to be judicious about electrical use to avoid from tripping the breaker. Trash & Recycling: The tenant is responsible for bringing trash bins down the driveway to the main road on designated collection days. 3. Parking, Transportation, & Access Vehicle Requirement: Due to the rural, off-street nature of the property, a personal vehicle is highly advised. Public transit is not accessible from the property. Parking Limits: The tenant is allocated exactly one designated outdoor parking space. Guest parking must be coordinated in advance. Driveway Maintenance: The landlord is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the gravel driveway. The tenant is responsible for cautious driving and keeping their designated parking space clear of personal property. 4. Small Space & Country Living Policies Occupancy Limit: Due to the 425-square-foot size and septic system design constraints, occupancy is strictly limited to a maximum of [1 or 2] permanent residents. Guest Policy: Overnight guests are permitted for a maximum of 14 total days per calendar year, and no more than 3 consecutive nights without prior written consent from the landlord. Outdoor Storage: To maintain the natural country landscape, no outdoor storage of indoor furniture, mechanics, or excessive clutter is permitted. 5. Addendum: Strict Septic System Rules The property utilizes a private septic tank. Unlike city sewage, this system relies on a delicate biological balance. Failure to follow these rules will cause immediate system failure, backups, and expensive repairs. Flushable Items: Flush absolutely nothing down the toilet except human waste and standard toilet paper. Strict Prohibitions: Do not flush baby wipes, flushable wipes, paper towels, facial tissues, tampons, pads, condoms, cotton swabs, or dental floss. Kitchen Sink Rules: The kitchen sink has no garbage disposal. Food scraps, coffee grounds, cooking grease, fats, and oils must be thrown in the trash or compost, never washed down the drain. Chemical Restrictions: Do not pour chemical drain openers (like Drano), bleach, paint, or harsh household cleaners down any drain. They kill the beneficial bacteria needed to break down waste. Reporting Backups: The tenant must immediately report slow drains, gurgling sounds from pipes, or water pooling near the outdoor septic field to the landlord. Liability: If a system failure or backup is caused by negligence or flushing prohibited items, the tenant will be held 100% financially responsible for the cost of plumbing repairs and septic pumping. 6. Local Gresham Compliance Required Disclosures: Both parties acknowledge signing the official City of Gresham Rights and Responsibilities of Tenants and Landlords document prior to lease execution.
