Touch of Reality Service to You

A crash pad provides a place to sleep, eat, and shower when needed. As I Flight Attendant I try to make flights comfortable and stress free for passengers, and I will do the same for your living accommodations.

House rules
House Rules/Shared Space
When providing housing there are some general ‘House Rules’ that should be established. Keep in mind these are just general suggestions to consider and may apply to each rental differently. Substance abuse, fights, threats, and theft is an automatic dismissal.
Following these general guidelines will help of your roommate get along. As everyone is either transitional housing on a daily schedule to become independent and stable flight crew, respecting people's quiet time, belongings and space will go a long way in keeping the peace in a Crash-pad. Trust me, I understand living in a divided dual housing space can be different. over microwave usage, kitchen cleaning and bathroom considerations.
Cleaning up after yourself
This one might be #1 and definitely goes a long way. Clean up after yourself for goodness sake! Guess what?! If your Raviolis explode the microwave, guess who’s cleaning up, yup that’s right YOU, your mom doesn’t live here.
Items to consider
- Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink.
- Wipe down counters and table tops.
- Do not leave your clothes, shoes, bags or other personal belongs in the living room or shared spaces.
