You and your roommates will be responsible for keeping your apartment unit clean. Though cleaning is a never-ending task, it is necessary to prevent pests, damage from accumulated dirt and/or excessive cleaning prior to departure. The following is a list of helpful hints to assist you with your endeavors.

• Develop a schedule. The responsibility for cleaning should be shared. When one or two people are doing all of the work, resentment can build.
• Keep the cleaning supply cabinet stocked. Nothing is more frustrating than when it is your turn to clean and the cupboard is bare.
• Try to spend some time each day cleaning. Doing the whole apartment in one day can be frustrating and exhausting.
• To avoid "pests", keep food in sealed containers and remove trash to the appropriate exterior dumpster regularly.
