I would have liked to know more about their acceptance process.

As someone who has written about living with roommates. I had one girl who looks normal wearing a long dress for the interview. Three days later we learn she's a convicted criminal on house arrest for kidnapping. She screams on the phone, cussing, for 12 hours in her room. Late at night watching movies on loud speakers and cooking at 3 am in the morning.

How does HubHaus fix this? Is there a voting system like the island where the most awful roommate is voted out each month? What are the consequences when a roommate works until 4 am and comes home and wakes everyone up 2 hours before their alarm for work?

Also, I assume this is for single people since the documentary I saw about HubHaus was very adamant about having zero privacy which means no love making for married couples.
