Copper employee housing, whats it like?

pro tips for employee housing:
dont ball out too much on living items. Ask the property managers if they can supply basic shit like paper towels, trash bags, plates/cups, cleaning supplies, etc. You're still a tenant at their property and help keep the lights on so its the least they can do.

Dont spend more than you need to cuz you won't be reimbursed. I had a lil tiny home this winter and spent way too much money taking care of it than i needed to. Ask about laundry units too, Laundromats aren't bad at all so look for those in Summit Co,


Also keep those places spotless. No beercans/bottles every where, no weed paraphenilia, trash, dirty-ass rooms or dishes in the sink. Literally everyone tokes in employee housing in Colorado so its not hard to go for a walk or smoke on your deck/porch. Keep it outside. My roomate this winter almost got us in huge trouble and eventually moved elsewhere and still got in trouble for outrageous weed smoking in the house. You might have to have bi-weekly inspections which your employer might fine you for. Weed/Vaping/Smoking is still grounds for eviction in CO sadly. It can be fun but sometimes others treat it like a 6-month long party vacation and trash their units which sucks for other employees who keep their stuff clean and pay rent ontime. My employer in Grand County sadly has a bad reputation around town with affordable housing units due to people just being trashy and not respecting the rules or other residents. Lucked out on what I had but I had to kinda pay out the ass for it.

Also take pre-move in pictures and inspect the unit so you don't get dinged in your security deposit when you move out. Landlords love to take advantage of that. Any and all issues should be brought up directly.....and it makes you look like a good tenant. Just be a straight-up adult and decent tenant and roommate and you'll be alright.

Also don't go too hard on cleaning the place sometimes if you're living with others. Its their responsibility. Nothing irks me more than dishes that aren't yours piling up in the sink and a roommate asking you to "pitch in" with the cleaning. Be civil and respectful. Take turns cleaning toilets and shit and have others pitch in.

You can have beer cans lol. Unless you're 12. Also inspections are generally a myth. I could see some VR places doing it maybe.

But yeah def take photos when you move in of damage. Employee housing is generally chill though. Is what it is but gets you in the door at a location. If it sucks can always try an upgrade units or move in with other people you meet in town.

thanks for the tips yall but this aint my first rodeo. Just wodneirng about room specifics and size, cooking setup, parking, etc. Really wanna know if a tiny mini fridge is a good thing to bring or nah.

Tiny mini gridge is always the move if you have one and can bring it. Sorry never lived at copper was just replying to the other thread but have lived in like 10+ versions of employee housing and can't think of one where a mini fridge isn't an improvement.

Beers obviously for space and so roomates and friends don't steal them also food for similar reasons. Nice to have some extra space. You're not paying electricity so yolo. Do it.
