Room 15 EMU JtKl '-MW-. HIT Workshop surveys housing rights By JOHN LUDWIG Of the Emerald A landlord-tenant workshop, held Wednesday evening in the EMU Ballroom, drew an audience of over 100 landlords, tenants and interested persons. The workshop, sponsored by the ASUO, featured Charles Spinner, an attorney from the Uni versity Office of Student Advo cacy; Don Chalmers, a para legal also from OSA and Walter Pav lich, director of Off-Campus Hous ing at the University. Spinner emphasized that the in formation presented at the work shop focused on preventing future disputes. “When hassles happen over rental agreements it takes away from the mutual benefit that both landlord and tenant derive from the agreement," said Spin ner. “Verbal contracts are binding for up to a year — but the reality of the situation is.that they don’t work. Written contracts take away a lot of the confusion and ques tionable aspects of rental agree ments." Spinner also explained lease agreement policy. “In common law, when some one enters into a lease, the person breaking the lease is responsible for damages. The Landlord Tenant Act has changed this. If a tenant breeches a lease, the tenant's breach stops the day the landlord rents the place again." Addressing the landlords in the audience, Spinner said, “So what is the value of a lease agreement to the landlord? The landlord gets all the damages that occur as a result of the breach.” OSL studies housing complaints The Oregon Student Lobby (OSL) is looking into reported cases of housing discrimination against students. OSL Pres. Robert Liberty says such discrimination may be out right denial of housing or imposi tion of stricter rental conditions, simply because a person is a Uni versity student. An informal survey conducted during winter registration at Cen tral Oregon College in Bend by Doug Bischell, student body president at the school, turned up 80 such complaints. They must still be substantiated however. Complaints have also been re ceived from Albany, Monmouth, and Corvallis, but the OSL has not heard of any instances of housing discrimination against students in Eugene. However, Liberty says, “In Eugene and Portland, where there is sufficient housing, discrimina tion may exist, but you may not be aware of it.” Liberty encourages anyone who has firsthand knowledge of For What It’s Worth Dead Coupon Clip this coupon and save $1 off the rack price on all Grateful Dead Ip’s or tapes in stock at your on campus record store.

If the problem is found to be serious, OSPIRG will conduct additional research. Once evidence is collected, lobbying efforts will be made at the municipal level in an attempt to bring about legislative protection. A state law will also be advo cated. Liberty points out that legis lation was introduced in the last session of the State Legislature that would have prevented this kind of discrimination. But the bill died in committee. "Next time we II have the evi dence we need,” says Liberty. Security deposits and cleaning deposits are probably the greatest problem in landlord-tenant dis putes, said Spinner. But here again he emphasized that land lords should inform tenants at the beginning of a rental agreement, in writing, specifically what clean ing fees and other costs are fa. Landlads were also infamed that security depostis must be returned to tenants within 30 days, a at least a statement of the deposits which are being held against unpaid rent. If tenants are not notified within 30 days, a at a reasonable effort has not been made by the landlad to notify the tenant, the security deposit doubles. Walter Ravlich noted tenants and land-lads can get inventory sheets from the Office of Off Campus Housing. Spinner also discussed the ob ligation of landlords to maintain their rentals in a "habitable condi tion". “A rental must have adequate heating, electricity, hot water, appliances and provide protection from the elements,” said Spinner. “A tenant may give a landlad writen notice of seven days in which to remedy such problems. If a landlad refuses to supply any essential service, the tenant has a right to procure the service themselves and deduct it from the rent.” South area group adopts parking plan A twohour parking limit might one day ruin the routines of Uni versity students accustomed to regulated all-day parking along streets south of campus. The South University Neigh borhood Association (SUNA) and a Eugene traffic engineer discus sed Wednesday night a proposed system of parking permits and re strictions designed to help resi dents find parking places near their homes.

If the city manager gives his approval, the traffic division will proceed with planning and submit a proposal to the city coun cil. The council would hold public hearings before voting on the plan. The discussions came in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing cities to restrict parking in residential areas to local residents. Students who park in “hoards in the early morning and leave their cars all day have created a problem for residents south of the University for years, said SUNA president Leslie Childress Ullman. "It’s not that we don't like stu dents,” she said. "We live in this neighborhood because we like to be near the UniversityThe park ing restriction would simply in crease turnover of parking places to give residents “at least a chance" in the scramble for park ing, she added.
