Teleporting to Your House
If you have level 40 Magic, you can cast the Teleport to House spell to be teleported directly to your house. This spell requires 1 Law, 1 Earth, and 1 Air Rune to cast.
"House Options" Menu
In Your Player Controls menu, you will see an option called "House Options."
When you click on the menu button, you'll see a new menu, allowing you to do several things with your house:
First, you have the building mode options, which allow you to toggle between building mode and regular mode. So, you can build your house in building mode, and then switch to normal mode to see what it will look like to your visitors.
Next, you have the option of expelling your guests, which means that you can kick everyone out if you want. This is particularly useful if you're throwing a wild party while your parents are out of town, but they come home early (can you really have parents in RuneScape?)!
And last, you can leave your house.
House Access
If you don't want others in your house, it's fairly simple to keep them out. There are actually 2 ways to accomplish this:
By locking your portal.
By using your Friends List
Locking Your Portal:
This is pretty easy to do. While you're inside your house area, right-click on your portal and select the "Lock Portal" option. This will prevent anyone from entering your house. Later on, you can select the "Unlock Portal" option to allow people to access it again.
Using Your Friends List:
This is a cool feature of Player Owned Houses too. If you have your friends list set to "On," anyone can access your house. If you have it set to "Friends," only people on your list can enter your house. And if you have it set to "Off," no one can enter your house (this is just like locking your portal).
