Resident House Rules
& Agreement

Welcome to Major House. This is your home and a shared community of residents supporting one another in recovery and in rebuilding their lives. These rules exist to keep every resident safe, healthy, and moving forward. By signing this agreement, you agree to follow them for as long as you live here.

Your right to live at Major House is a revocable license to occupy your assigned bed for the purpose of participating in our recovery program. It is not a lease, rental agreement, or tenancy, and it gives you no tenancy, leasehold, or other property interest in the home.

1. A drug- and alcohol-free home. No drugs, alcohol, or related paraphernalia are allowed on the property or in your system. You agree to maintain your sobriety and to submit to random or for-cause drug and alcohol testing. Prescribed medications, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), are permitted; they must be disclosed and managed according to house policy.
