Housing Info Channel Guidelines

Hello from the OzyKozy Admin Team.

Below are the guidelines for using the Housing & Real Estate channel.

1. Channel Purpose

• This channel is for freely sharing and discussing all topics related to housing: short-term accommodations, roommate searches, moving / transport, home repair / renovation, property listings, living tips, contracts / legal issues, neighborhood information, and other housing-related topics.

• The goal is to build a supportive community where members share real-life housing experiences, rental or sale listings, moving tips, renovation reviews, neighborhood reviews, and helpful advice.

2. Basic Principles

• Respect & Consideration: Members come from diverse backgrounds and living situations. Please respect others’ circumstances and opinions.

• Accurate Information: Clearly differentiate between facts and personal opinions. Provide concrete details when sharing housing offers, rent, neighborhood info, or any other important information.

• Privacy Protection: Do not share sensitive personal details — phone numbers, exact addresses, passport numbers, or other private data — of yourself or others.

• Constructive Dialogue: If you raise concerns or problems, focus on solutions or helpful suggestions rather than complaints or criticism.

3. Permitted Content

Allowed posts include:

• Short-term accommodation reviews and listings, shared housing or roommate requests, roommate search posts

• Rental or sales property listings and information

• Tips and shared experiences about renting, buying, moving, transport, moving company recommendations, budgeting for housing

• Home renovation, repairs, décor, home-improvement tips and reviews

• Information about lease agreements, legal issues, tenant rights, rental procedures, property transaction process

• Neighborhood reviews: local lifestyle, transport links, amenities, safety, community vibe

• General housing advice, questions, and useful information for other members

4. Prohibited Content & Behavior

Do not post or promote:

• False or misleading property listings, exaggerated conditions, or unrealistic promises

• Posting or sharing sensitive personal information (exact addresses, contact info, etc.) of yourself or others

• Advice or encouragement for illegal or unethical housing, rental, or real-estate practices

• Discrimination, hate speech, or derogatory remarks based on race, nationality, gender, religion, etc.

• Political agitation, extremist political discussions unrelated to housing topics

• Commercial advertisements, referral links, sponsorship solicitations, or profit-seeking posts — unless prior approval from admins

• Spam, repeated postings, floods, or posts that disrupt community discourse

• Sharing copyrighted material without permission (e.g. property photos from other sites without rights)

• Posting explicit, violent, or offensive content

5. Community Use Tips 💡

• Search before posting — check if similar information already exists.

• Provide detailed and clear information — location, budget, move-in date, housing type, etc. This helps others better understand and respond.

• Show appreciation — thank those who help you.

• Share follow-up results — if you successfully find housing or have experience, share your outcome so others benefit.

• Share responsibly — when citing data or claims, include credible sources; clearly distinguish personal opinion from factual information.

6. Disclaimer

• Content in this channel is contributed by community members, and we cannot guarantee its accuracy or recency.

• For actual rental, sale, contracts, or legal matters, please confirm directly with real-estate agents, landlords, or qualified professionals.

• Any legal or financial consequences arising from posts are the responsibility of the original author. OzyKozy does not assume liability.

We hope you help us build a vibrant, helpful, and trustworthy Housing & Real Estate community.
