This house belongs to Gama's trust. Everyone living here — including Stella and Mike until they leave — is a tenant and steward of it. That's the whole frame: it's not anyone's house to run, it's the family's house to take care of, and this page is where the arrangement lives so nobody has to keep it in their head.
The house's page
Welcome to Lambourne House.
Who holds what, what things cost, what's still being decided — all in one place, so nobody has to keep it in their head.

The Arrangement
"We want the arrangement to help everyone move toward where they want to be — not just be a place to land."
The renter principle. Everyone moving in is a renter — nothing more is expected of them than of any renter. The roles below are the whole list; nothing extra is quietly implied.
Who holds what
How the house runs
A closed loop: everyone puts into the house, and the house gives back. Repairs and needs run through Natti; Mom holds final say on the big stuff.
The numbers, plainly
$400rent each / month
~$200utilities each / month
~$1,000to keep the house running
6 monthsrental agreements, for flexibility
Key dates
Nothing had to be decided at the Aug 6 meeting — that was the point. What is settled lives on this page; everything else is in Still Open, on purpose.
How it unfolds
Timeline
The next two months, in order. Dates that are set are set; the rest say what they're waiting on.
The budget
Money
The goal is to keep it affordable — and it's still not a free house. It costs about $1,000 a month to keep this house running as-is, and rent is how that's covered. Everyone pays utilities. Alternatives to cash rent can be discussed, but they need to be supported.
Each person, each month
Rent$400
Utilities (estimate)~$200
All in~$600
The house, each month
Rent, all three$1,200
Keeps the house running~$1,000
Utilities: electric, gas, water, sewer, trash, recycling, internet — split equally, submitted to Mom.
How and when rent gets paid isn't settled yet. The draft lease proposes Venmo to Hailey, due the 3rd, $50 late after the 10th — but that's a proposal until it's agreed. It's first on the Still Open list.
Living here
House Expectations
Every expectation comes with its how — who to tell, where it goes. These start from the agenda and the draft lease; after tonight they'll be rewritten in the family's own words.
Being decided
Still Open
This is the biggest section on purpose. The meeting's own rule was nothing has to be decided today — so what got discussed lives here as options, not commitments, until the people it binds say otherwise. Items marked for the written agreement are headed into the lease.
In writing
The Agreement
Stella and Mom are working the agreement out with Gama, built from everything raised at the meeting — including your questions as they come in. When it's final, it lives here, laid out plainly like the rest of this page. Until then, this is its current shape:
Parties
Hailey manages the property for the trust. Tenants: Margo, Natti, Jordyn — each responsible together for the whole agreement, not just their share.
Property
2624 East Lambourne Avenue, Millcreek, Utah 84109.
Term — undecided
Six months is the starting point — month-to-month or a year are on the table, with an early-move-out clause promised. Still open.
Rent
$1,200/month total — $400 each. Payment mechanics proposed, not settled.
Deposit
No security deposit before move-in.
Repairs
Report to Natti immediately; she tracks and coordinates with the landlord side. Landlord keeps the house habitable per the Utah Fit Premises Act.
Written for you
Said at the meeting: this lease is intended to be written for the renters. Stella and Mom are working the specifics out with Gama; it gets presented at the follow-up. Still open.
Governing law
State of Utah.

Good to know
Utility accounts stay in the trust's name (Sharon Meyer Revocable Trust) — payment is coordinated through Hailey. Bills are stabilized after a year of evening-out; electricity and water will likely rise next year.
The home warranty runs out at the end of October — repairs get more expensive after that, which is part of what rent covers.
Staying with the house: the TV (mounted on the wall) and the bar stools — agreed at the meeting. Everything else upstairs goes unless explicitly agreed.
Utah law protects tenants' right to a safe, habitable home (Fit Premises Act, Utah Code Title 57, Ch. 22). Month-to-month tenancies take 15 days' written notice (§ 78B-6-802).
Deeper documents live in the family Google folder; quotes for floors and anything else worth keeping get added here as they land.
