Plot

When Hank's elderly neighbor Ted dies, Bill pitches a plan to rent his house as a club house to which Dale Gribble, Boomhauer, and Hank all agree.

That evening Luanne, gets off work and takes a bath, walking through Hank and Peggy's bedroom while they were making love. Hank is outraged and points out that Luanne has violated numerous rules and insists that she pays rent. She instead rents Ted's house and brings in a series of roommates and moves out of the Hills' house. She soon has problems with her roommates who eat her food, fail to clean up after themselves, and never cover their portion of the monthly expenses. When she points out that they have failed to abide by the rules, she is horrified to realize that she has become just like Hank.

She and Hank reconcile, and Hank tells her he finds solace in tending to his lawn. Acting on his suggestion, she makes a hobby of cleaning and maintaining the swimming pool. By the end of the episode, she has paid all the overdue bills and cut off the house's utilities, so that her roommates will be forced to contribute their fair share.
