Guests

Health, photography and police

Reporting misconduct
If someone you stay with behaves inappropriately, for example in an offensive, violent or sexually inappropriate way, or you suspect them of stealing, report them to the appropriate authorities first. Then write to housed.india@gmail.com with your police station and report number. A report does not oblige Housed to act beyond what the law requires.
