SHC Policy Wiki

4.07.01

Any Member who decides to paint their room in any way may be subject to a House vote to determine whether the room needs to be repainted by that Member at the end of that Member’s tenure, for the sake of attractiveness and viability for future Members of a particular room. The House Maintenance Officer will be responsible for bringing this concern before the House at a regularly scheduled House meeting.

1. a. If at least half of the quorum of the House decides that a room painted by its current resident should be repainted, that Member shall be responsible for the labor and cost of repainting the room before that Member moves out.
   1. i. If the room in question is not repainted by that Member within two weeks of the end of that resident’s contract, that Member will be considered non-compliant, and the House may vote a price from the Member’s Share, to be given to the House for labor and materials.
   2. ii. If a House decides that a room be repainted and the current resident does not comply, the House Maintenance Officer will be responsible for ensuring the repainting of the room before the new resident moves in. This can include, but is not limited to: repainting the room on their own; the temporary use/hiring of SHC salaried staff and preferred SHC subcontractors; and the delegation of work to Members needing to fulfill work holiday hours, etc.

1. b. The color of paint used to repaint a resident’s room will be neutral in nature and at the discretion of the House. Additionally, any paint colors deemed inappropriate or absurd by the House, such as excessively bright, neon, or highly contrasting colors, should be avoided.
