Using the shared kitchen areas

🍳 Kitchen Rules – Shared Accommodation

To ensure the kitchen is safe, hygienic, and pleasant for everyone, please follow these guidelines:

Keeping Clean

  • Clean all areas after every use.

  • Keep the kitchen well ventilated when cooking foods with strong odors.

Fat, Oils & Food Waste

  • Do NOT pour fat, oils, food, or rice down the sink.

  • Dispose of these items in the outside waste bins.

  • Costs for unblocking pipes due to improper disposal will be billed to all tenants.

Bins & Waste

  • Empty kitchen waste bins into outside bins every other day.

  • Any mess on bin tops, walls, or floors must be cleaned immediately.

  • Keep the bin area clean and hygienic for your own health and well-being.

Respect Your Housemates

  • Respect others’ personal space.

  • Avoid cross-contamination in fridges by storing food in adequate containers.

Regular Checks

  • Check your storage spaces regularly for spoiled food or items past their expiry date.

Proper Storage

  • All food should be stored in appropriate containers.

  • Do not leave food exposed or put hot pans into cupboards. Improper storage can attract pests.

Damages

  • Do not place hot pans on benches or the floor; this can damage surfaces.

  • Any damage caused through neglect or misuse will be billed to all tenants.

Cleaning & Monitoring

  • The kitchen is regularly cleaned and monitored.

  • Please wait in your room while the cleaning team is attending the area.

Reporting Issues

  • Report any issues in the kitchen via the COHO app or email management at rooms@roomstoletne.co.uk.

  • Observing someone misusing the kitchen? Report confidentially—misuse affects all tenants.

Thank you for helping us keep your shared home safe, hygienic, and enjoyable!
