Living Arrangements
You are not only being rented a place to live, but also a place to minister to college students. Living in the
campus house provides you with the opportunity to experience living in a Christian community, plus the
opportunity to work together to impact the lives of people on and around campus with the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Do you understand and agree to this?
 Yes  No
Personal property should be maintained and operated in a way that is consistent with the nature and purpose of
the house (i.e. no loud/late or inappropriate music). His House Christian Fellowship assumes no liability or
responsibility for the personal property of the residents. Residents are advised to purchase renter’s insurance if
loss of property is not covered under their parents’ homeowners’ policy. Personal property stored outside the
resident’s room must be labeled and stored in an approved location. Property left at the campus house after
checkout will be disposed of and costs incurred will be deducted from the renters’ deposit. Do you agree to
this?
 Yes  No
Since the world evaluates our message by the care we take in presenting it, it is important that the house be
maintained in an attractive condition. It is the responsibility of each person to complete specific cleaning
responsibilities on time and to the glory of God. Residents are also responsible for stewardship of the campus
house, including lawn care and snow removal at both properties. Do you agree to do your part in making the
house an attractive living residence?
 Yes  No
No house pets are allowed at any time. Do you understand and agree to this?
 Yes  No
House, Rooms, & Furnishing
The Campus Houses are an integral part of the campus ministry. Therefore, the first floor of the houses are
public areas, open to all students in our ministry and from the college campus. The second floors are the living
quarters for the residents. Do you understand and agree to this arrangement?
 Yes  No
Arrangements need to be made in advance with the Campus Minister for furnishings provided by His House
Christian Fellowship. House furnishings must remain in rooms unless approved by Campus Minister.
 Yes  No
In order to help us exhibit the character quality of responsibility, the furnishings must be kept in reasonable
condition. Undue damage is the responsibility of the residents. All maintenance problems should be directed to
your House Manager who will in turn let the Campus Minister know. Absolutely no painting or remodeling is
to be done without permission of the campus minister or Landlord. Do you agree to this?
 Yes  No
If a friend will be visiting you or staying in your room in your absence, you must notify the House Manager. Do
you understand and agree to this?
 Yes  No
Christian Conduct and Spiritual Life
In order to offer this residence as a Christian housing unit, specific guidelines are set to achieve this goal. Do
you understand that your conduct must be consistent with the Christian lifestyle while living here?
 Yes  No
Since we are Christians and represent Jesus Christ, we need to avoid all and set a Godly example. Therefore,
use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic drinks, and illegal drugs are not allowed on the Campus House property.
Neither should there be any use of profanity at any time. Guests of the residents are the responsibility of the
resident and must be consistent with the witness of the house. Willing violation of these rules means you may
be asked to move out. Do you understand and agree to this?
 Yes  No
Members of the opposite sex are welcome at the campus houses, however they are not allowed in the bedrooms
on the second floors, so as to provide privacy and avoid temptation, and set a Godly example for others.
Reasonable visiting hours will be established by the residents. Do you understand and agree to this?
 Yes  No
It is expected that the residents will make every effort to be involved in the weekly fellowship meetings, the Fall
and Winter Retreats, house activities, house meetings and other activities sponsored by the campus ministry.
House devotions and dinners are arranged within each house. Habitually neglecting these functions, or having a
negative attitude towards them, will mean you may be asked to move out. Do you understand and agree to this?
 Yes  No
The Campus Houses are owned and operated by Wisconsin Christian Campus Ministries. Their purpose is to
provide college students an opportunity for intensive spiritual growth within the context of a Christian
community. Are you comfortable with this purpose?
 Yes  No
I have read, understand and agree to each of the above statements.
