Generate a Set of House Rules for a Shared Home

The first three weeks of a house share are the window when rules can be agreed without anyone feeling attacked. After that, raising the washing-up situation becomes a conflict. This generates a draft set of house rules specific enough to be useful, covering shared spaces, noise, guests, costs, and a simple process for raising problems before they fester. Print it, amend it together, done.

<task>
**Generate** a draft set of house rules for the shared home described.
1. Shared spaces: expectations for the kitchen, living areas, and bathroom, including cleaning responsibilities
2. Noise and hours: agreed quiet hours and any specific noise commitments
3. Guests: overnight guests, frequency, and notice expectations
4. Shared costs: how utilities, communal supplies, and shared subscriptions are split and paid
5. Conflict process: a simple agreed step for raising a problem before it becomes entrenched
</task>

<output_format>
- Five sections with bold headings
- Each section as a short bullet list of specific rules, not principles
- Each rule written as a simple statement ("Dishes are washed or in the dishwasher within 24 hours of use")
- Final section: one-paragraph conflict process the housemates can refer to
- Note: this is a draft for the household to agree and amend, not a legal document
