Safety and trust

Safe homes start with clear rules.

Shared living works when everyone is verified, every room locks, and everyone knows the rules. Here's how OC does it.

Verified members

Every member verifies identity and income and is screened by a licensed screening company, using written criteria applied the same way to everyone.

Locks on every bedroom

Your door has its own lock or code. Codes change between members.

Secure entry

Front doors use keyless entry, so lost keys never put the house at risk.

Member guidelines

Every member agrees to the same house guidelines on guests, quiet hours, cleanliness and respect.

Fast maintenance

Report problems from your phone. Urgent issues like no heat, a leak or a lockout go to the front of the line.

Report a concern

Tell us about a problem with a housemate or the house at any time. We follow up and act on the guidelines.

Something wrong right now?

If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. Then let OC know through Help so we can follow up.
