Cleaning Checks: Keep It Together or Pay Up

Let’s keep it real—clean spaces = better places. You’re responsible for keeping your apartment tidy and livable. That means scrubbing, wiping, sweeping—the whole shebang.

• Bring Your Own Cleaning Gear. No supplies = no excuses.

• Skip the mess, avoid the stress.

• Fail a clean check? That’s a $10 fee. Every. Single. Time.

So… stay ahead of the game and clean it like you mean it.

Cleaning Check Domination 101

Here’s how to turn your apartment into a sparkle fortress and keep the good vibes rollin’.

• Know the Schedule. Own the Schedule.
  Don’t be caught off guard! Check your clean check dates (they’re online). Mark your calendar and stay ahead of the game.

• Read Your Dang Emails.
  Don’t miss those reminders. We’re literally sending you the cheat codes—use them.

• Team Up with Your Roomies.
  Kick off the semester with a team huddle. Split up the chores early in the semester. Set a plan, stick to it, and don’t be the one who flakes out.

• Be THAT Roommate.
  The reliable one. If it’s your job—OWN IT. No passing the mop. Everyone does their part, no excuses.

• Clean as You Go.
  Waiting till the night before = stress and regret. Knock out little messes as they come. You’ll thank yourself later.

• Watch the Dirty Hotspots.
  Bathrooms. Kitchen. Entryways. These areas get nasty fast. Keep ‘em in check with quick wipe-downs throughout the week.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just about passing an inspection. It’s about creating a healthy, low-stress, drama-free zone where everyone feels good. A clean space = a clear mind + good vibes.
