ROOMMATES— HOUSING

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The following few pages articulate the rules of living together with your new roommates in the assigned apartments. Roommates work collectively to respect each other’s rights and needs. As well as follow the guidelines provided by Frenchman Creek’s Housing Agreement.

Good roommate relations are the foundation of positive community development in Frenchman’s Creek Housing.

While it’s not necessary to be best friends or share every single aspect of your life with your roommate, it is essential that roommates respect each other’s rights. As you can probably imagine, developing a healthy and positive roommate relationship doesn’t happen overnight; it’s a continuous process, and involves genuine effort of all parties. If employees do not adhere to the housing agreement, they will be asked to vacate our housing and secure their own housing, or they could be dropped from the program and sent home early.
