As part of joining our private student residence, our members receive weekly updates about the community, upcoming events, developments in the student residence and any other relevant news. We've decided to post these updates on our website in order to let our visitors looking for student housing get an inside view of the Chelsea House student life!
Welcome back to the CH Show!!! 📺 - This is the weekly update to keep you abreast of what’s good in Montreal, the city we love ❤️, as well as updates from your beloved student residence community 🏡 (an another benefit is this keeps parents back home jealous at all times & updated enough not to blow up your phones lol❤️🙏 ).
Hey, CH Fam! How's your week going so far? We know it's been rough with the recent intense ice storm 🧊 all over Canada 🇨🇦. In case you didn't know, Montreal was among the worst hit areas, thus, as a safety precaution, we urge you to stay off the roads (if possible). For those who are outside Canada, here's a glimpse of what we had to deal with this week 😫

HOUSE UPDATES
- REMINDERS ON HOUSE RULES 🚨
In continuation of our reminders last week, here are additional reminders regarding our community rules on visitors and quiet hours.
- Visitors
Every member is authorised to have a maximum of 2 visitors at a time during the day. Please note that you may, on occasion, have an overnight visitor. We ask that you make sure to ask your roommates to agree to it. If an overnight visitor becomes a regular occurrence, we will have to interview them & make sure that we know who they are, and membership fees will be charged to your account. Our rooms are single occupancy – meaning that you cannot have a guest on an ongoing basis.
If the total combined number of members and visitors in a single apartment reaches 8, we ask that the gathering be moved down to the member’s lounge out of respect for the rest of the House. The lounge doesn’t close. Open 24/7. It’s soundproof. Sofas, Bar, Pool Table, TVs. Go nuts.
All members are responsible for their visitor’s adherence to the Chelsea House rules and must always accompany their visitors. Any damages that occurred by a member’s guest will be the responsibility of the member (choose your guests wisely).
Applicable fine for 1st violation: $25 (fines escalate for repeat offenders)
- Quiet Hours
Don’t forget, you’re here to succeed academically (or at work for those in their internships!). The best way to do so, is to be mindful about noise.
It is important to be mindful that you are in a co-living community. The purpose of quiet hours is to avoid interfering with another member’s ability to enjoy their space without nuisance. It could be stressful if you’ve got a huge exam the next morning but another apartment is blasting a Beyoncé karaoke set lol. Be mindful of your fellow Chelsea Family and keep the noise down during quiet hours.
Quiet hours are between 11:00 pm to 7:00 am during the week & 1:00 am to 9:00 am on weekends.
- No loud noises (music, TV, etc.)
- No gatherings in the apartments (if you are having visitors during Quiet Time, you should gather in the lounge and not in your room/ apartment)
- When walking around the property, do so as quietly as possible.
Applicable fine for 1st violation: $25
