[Because an apparently large
per of students will change
locations during semester ,
^--particularly from dorms to
ampus housing-Tenants Union
is offering advice and
Igestions to help the tenants,
ifcome the Mt'." Pleasant "housing
lisles."
Usually students stay put
een the Christmas break, but
year it appears a very large
ber of students will be moving,
it of them off-campus.
"Ii a person has never lived off-
pus before,- or even if he has,
e are some things that are
irtant to remember," said Gary
c, TU spokesman.
"This semester TU ■' will
fully be publishing a "booklet
taring the situations tenants and
lords can get into, and -how to
out of them or avoid them all
ther," ad^ded Jim Hosner, TU
.esentative.
There are six'basic points TU
•s potential renters to watch out
These include:
1. Once a person signs a con-
t, he is legally responsible for it.
t   you   sign   it,   there's   no
ling," Hosner said,_"Hy_ou_sign a__
act for a year then you are
onsible for a year. ";,
"The landlords are not
insible ■ for subletting, you are.
il-year contracts are usually
lable upon request." be said,
2. Watch .for" ,/joint-several
is. A jointrseveraLclaUse hojds
tenant of an apartment
•onsible for the others' damage
rent. * • ' -
For example, if in a four-man
ment one person breaks a lamp
refuses to pay for it, the other
roommates .are responsible for
g the damage. _
The same applies to rent; ifone
leaves- without paying bis'
the others are required to pay.
The TU strongly advises
renters not to sign any contracts
bearing the joint-several clause.
3. When moving into an
apartment always fill out a damage
sheet. The landlord should provide
tenants with, one, but if he doesn't,
make your own and take it to him.
Ine.lu.de anything- missing -or
damage^yeh jftfoftfrf-.«-, - w^.;
If a. tenant would like a TU
representative to inspect the
damage list, call the office and it can
be. arranged.
"One thing tenants often notice
and ask about is the high rate of
repair and replacement on items in
the apartment," Malec said. "This is
sometimes found on the top of the
damage lilt that the landlord asks
you to fill out.
1 "The rate is high for two .
reasons; the landlord can make some
money off it and people are reluctant
to mess things up so much when they
see how much it can cost them,"
Malec said. '
4. Make note of the length of the
contract. Is it a year-long lease,
eight-month,. etc. Note .when you
may move in and" when you must
vacate.
5. Note the total amount of
money you will pay for the apartment and the pay schedule. Because
an'apartment rent may be $7.0 per
mbnffi "dbTsn't mean you "wiil—be
paying $70 each month. Often*.you
have tp pay a lump fee for, each
semester.«   :
6. Ask if you will receive interest on your damage deposit. "The
. damage deposit usually goes into a
separate account and the landlords
couect interest on it," Kcsaer said.
'"This is your money and you should
be entitled to the interest."
Also check if there is a return
date stipulated for the damage
deposit. Sometimes it takes a year or
more to get the money back and all
the while it is earning more interest
for the landlord.      **
"The most important thing is to
read the contract carefully/' Malec
and Hosner stressed, "If there is

Miss  Unrue said  that  if the
Seger concert went over well and
the dorms that still have money to
turn in do so, that there would be no
problem in reaching the $5,000 goal
of the' Korean Orphanage Committee. , '
All the donations so far, including the 48-hour marathon
amount to about $3,500, which is
more than was made all last year
during the drive for the Korean
orphans.
In     appreciation     of     the
University's efforts in the marathon
WCHP plans to bring in a band and
sponsor a free mixer for the campus,
said Chip Lusko. He also said WCHP
will give'free advertising for any
dorm on campus for movies or other-
activities.
Disc jockey Gary Lico summed^
up the drive. "They'r.e'saying a lot--*
about which dorm, rafised the most
money and which disc: jockey made
the most in pledges, but I just think'.'
it's great that for the first time in the*
two years that I've be-en here, I've
seen this campus sewiti together. I'*
just hope they keep it up." ■"■
something in it you .don't understand, ask them to explain it to
you. If they have nothing to hjde,
they'll be glad to explain it."
Along with the six items to leek
for, TU offers some thoughts on
some of the major apartment
.complexes in Mt. Pleasant.

semester,   it   has   best   working -.
relationship with TU.  "Deerfield'a,
attitude is one of cooperation* and
unbelievable reasonableness," Malec
said. "We have not had one complaint about them all semester."
"The Forum has also expressed
' cooperation,"      he      continued.
"Recently there was a hassle about
the return of damage deposits and
- we' were told the only '.way for
tenants to get their moneys back was
to sue.
"Now that has changed and we
have worked out a plan to get the
money back on time. That is the only
thing holding the Forum back from
becoming the best complex in Mt.
Pleasant," Malec continued.
"Concord and Park Place hayes
- improved over the semester. They
used to have a maintenance- problem
but that has. been pretty much
resolved/' Hosner said. "    '•
-  People seem 'to hear the most
about   Consolidated   Apartment'
Corporation, and the reason for that,
according to Malec, is Consolidated -•
owns most of the renting property.
"Conaoiidated's individual units
needr a lot.of work" Malec -aald.v
"Often they are in very bad need of
repair and don't get fixed up right
awayv  The  apartment  complexes,
however, are run efficiently and are
usually kept' up. The .single  unit
houses are barely adequate*,** he said.
Western Islands Apartments
has been in some trouble lately.
"Aside from the dollar devaluation
hassle that has now been settled,
there have been complaints of
cockroaches in the south building,"
Hosner said.
.   Malec blames a lot of tenants'
and landlords' problems on the fact'
1 there is no housing code in»Mt;
Pleasant. '      { -
. "A housing code, would solve a -
lot of problems," be said. "Landlords,
are  not  supposed  to  charge  for.
normal wear and tear, but that term
is ambiguous. With a h*uf-ing cod* it
Would be cfakrly defined.
*'A lot,of houses rented'to
students 'in unlivable conditions
;would be cleaned up with a housing
coder/' Malec said. \>A housing code
would mike things much clearer arid
establish better relationships: with
* all people concerned in the renting
process. ,

Financial Aids initiates
1
student accounts system
By Nancy Clay.  ■•
LIFE Staff Writer
"A' student accounts receivable
system will be initated in Financial
.Aids'next semester, according tp
John' W. Stressman, director of
Financial A-ds.' '
When students' Schedules are
processed, their total amount of
financial aid for the semester Will be
taken into account. The computer
will subtract the amount of tuition
and fees from the balance.
.Students will receive a
statement' indicating whether or not
fees have been paid when they
receive their schedules.
"Regardless of whether or noi
fees have been paid, it is very important that the fee card is returned
to the University along with   the,
balance, if there is one," Stressman,
,4aid.       ...
'       The bookstore will receive a list
. of those students who have credit
and they will be allowed to charge
. books and supplies. The amount will
be subtracted  from their balance,
Stressman said,,
Students who have credit will
receive a check sent to their local-
address, around Feb. 1, Stressman
added. -   ■ •  .
National Direct Student Loans
will not be included in the acctiunts
receivable1 system, because of the.
promissary note, that must be signed y
when the loan is received. This
hopefully will help those.off-campus
students who have rent payments,
Stressman Said. .,.
These loans will be available'.to
students a week before classes
begin, Jan.'8, at the'Cashier's Office,
Stressman added.- -'.-.,
"Rather  than  make   students
wait two weeks for the loans, we feel
this will be a much simpler process.'*
■ he said.
This new system may be, a "kick-
off to -a', program in which 41L
University students.will be on an,
accounts receivable system-;
Stressmsn saad»' ,       '   . -      ••    \
The new financial aid system
was organized because -of last
semester's "computer confusion'*.
Stressman explained, f
"Many students had to wait nt
lines for .hour,3 to pick  up thief
checks. .We.hope this, new system
will   solve   problems   like1  this.;*
