1. The basics
I am not flight crew, but I do work for an airline. May I stay?
No. Positive Space is exclusively for Male Pilots and Male Flight Attendants.
Where is Positive Space located?
We have two locations in Ft Lauderdale. Both are conveniently located just minutes South of the airport in Dania Beach.
Is Dania Beach safe?
Yes! Dania Beach is an upper middle class neighborhood with a very low crime rate. We have no reports of our tenants feeling unsafe in the neighborhood.
How do I get to and from the airport?
On-demand ride sharing service is available from Dania Beach to FLL. Uber and Lyft typically cost between $5.00 USD and $10.00 USD, dependent on exact drop-off location and surge pricing.
I have a car. Is parking available?
Yes, however the number of spots is limited. Please be aware that vehicles can not be left at the house while you're on a trip or at home.
Are the rooms co-ed?
No. Both facilities are male-only.
Do you have pilot only facilities?
Yes! The St Thomas unit is pilot only. Please inquire if interested and we will let you know availability.
2. I'm in, what are the details
What is the price?
Price per month is $375.00 USD, with an additional security deposit of $100.00 USD.

I do not know my schedule yet. Can you prorate in and out?
Typically, we do not prorate. In extenuating circumstances, we may be able to accommodate you.
When is rent due each month?
Rent is due the 27th of each month, prior to the next month. For example, June's rent is due by May 27th.
I cannot pay rent by the 27th. Is there a late fee?
Yes, if rent is not paid by 12:01 AM on the 28th of the month, the amount due will increase. If rent is not paid by the first of the month, we will assume you no longer want the spot.
Please communicate with us about any late payments to avoid fees and eviction.
I found a new gig and do not need the spot. How much notice do I need to give when moving out?
When moving out, let us know by the 15th of the month, for the next month. This is about two weeks notice. Yes, we will refund the deposit, except if there is damage to the property. No refund will be issued if there is no notice by the 15th.
How many beds are in each room?
Depending on the unit, the number of beds vary slightly. St Thomas (Pilot only) has two rooms with 6 beds per room, and another with four beds. St John (Male-only) has three rooms with four beds, and one large room with 8 beds. Each bedroom in St John has its own bathroom and closet.
Is there a limit to the number of nights I can stay per month?
No, there is no limit to the amount of nights you can stay each month. We do ask that you keep in mind industry standard tends to be 10 to 15 days per month. If exceeded consistently, we will address case by case. The units are neither designed nor intended to be permanent residences.
I am on reserve. Do I need to pay more rent per month?
No, you do not need to pay more when on reserve.
What is the refund policy, if i change my minf before the move in date?
Last minute base, schedule or life changes happen. We will give you a credit for a future stay equal to the amount of rent already paid, or issue a full refund, including your deposit.

If you do not enjoy your stay, we can move you to a different unit, or issue a full refund, minus the days stayed.
