Hot Take #1: What an 'action' 'means' is an interesting meta perspective. Using the example: "Chris is OK being touched on the shoulder but not OK being touched on the thigh" This can be a category issue. If the grouping of the two actions is 'touch' some weirdness may be perceived/judged (by some). "You like touch but you don't like touch? Make up your frikkin mind!" If one instead explicitly separates the two actions by 'meaning' into ' social' (shoulder) and 'intimate' (thigh) the confusion can be reduced. There are also meta perspectives on timing, perceived intent, broadcast intent, location, number of participants, etc. This is why communication, exploration, and consent are all important, along with the power of striving towards responsibility and repair (as boundaries are crossed). Not So Hot Take #1: "The property manager freely admitted that these terms were absurd, and that he did not expect us to abide by them in the slightest. They were there, he said, so that if we turned out to be assholes, he would have a way to pry us out of the house. Berkeley, CA is extremely friendly to tenants, relative to landlords, so having a contract in which we were unambiguously in breach from day 1 would prove useful." My interpretation is not that rules were in place to force tenants into always being in breach, or even that they were defacto 'absurd'. Perhaps each were explicitly and carefully put in place as initial markers of a burgeoning violation. In specific not having a tenant on the lease and finding that there is yet another person living there. The way that often begins is having a person visit "...for more than two nights"
