The office Is locat ed on the third floor of the EMU Tenants’ right to privacy can be ensured by establishing a few simple guidelines Rememoer me stupid rule in high school that allowed teachers to search your locker with out your permission? It's the same kind ol thing Anyone who rents an apartment rents with the knowledge that the landlord has a key to the place. When your lease starts to run out, the landlord wants to show the apartment to his or her next prospective renters. This isn't a problem as long as both landlord and tenant have some guidelines that respect the ten ant's right to privacy. • II there isn't a 24-hour policy already, ask that one be implemented When your landlord wants to show the apartment, he or she must agree to call at least 24 hours ahead ol time and to either talk to you personally or leave a message. • II you don't want anyone inside your apartment unless you are present, make sure your landlord understands that. One Saturday morning, my bathroom light fixture fell out ol the wall and was dangling by some wires I called my landlord's emergency repair number and was told not to worry about it if it wasn't on lire or anything, and to call on Monday When I called Monday, I set up a time for the electrician to come on Tuesday When asked, I specifically said I did not want him to use my land lord's key to come in I wanted to be there when he was m my apartment The electrician did not show up between 2 and 4 p m , which was the agreed-upon time. I left at 4 15, and when I got home at 5 30, the light I xture was fixed Apparently, the electrician thought this was an emergency and decided to let himself into my apart ment anyway. This situation was a matter of miscommumcation Make sure you are perfectly clear when you tell your landlord that you want to be present to let electri cians or other repairmen in. * When you do set up a time for other people to see your apartment or for repairs, make sure both you and the landlord have the right time If there is a misunderstanding, it can be embarrassing for every one involved. My landlord called to let me know she was going to show my apartment on Friday at 4 30 p m — so she says I thought she said Thursday I was gone all day Thursday Friday I was home all afternoon I was not expecting visitors, and due to unusual cir cumstances, I would not have asked my mother to come in if she had appeared on my doorstep When my landlord knocked, I refused to let her in, explaining that I thought the appointment had been for Thursday Fortunately for me she was under standing, and we made another appointment the fol lowing week Unfortunately for my landlord, the woman interested in looking at my apartment was no longer interested by then • When you rent, make sure your lease has something in writing about others entering your apartment At least once during your time there, other people are going to be letting themselves into your place, and some landlords will assume you are comfortable with this If you aren't, it's OK to be uptight You have the right to be uptight about your privacy. Stephanie Sisson MOVING Continued from Page IB required up front. Included is your application lee rang ing from $10 to $30, first and last month's rent, and a security deposit of about $150 to $200, hall of which is usually refundable. Rent ranges from $330 to $495 for a single bedroom apartment. $500 to $640 lor a two bedroom, and $690 to $800 for three bedrooms Utilities are generally not included Quads are another good option, and are more affordable than apartments For about $250 to $300 a month, including utilities, you get your own bedroom and bathroom, and share a kitchen and living room with up to three other people Application and movmg In costs are comparable to those of an apartment If you don't mind living with eight to 15 other peo pie, and possibly not having your own room, then I suggest looking into a co-op Average rent is about $250 to $275 per month and moving-m costs include first and last month's rent and a security deposit of about $75 to $125. half of which is usually refundable. On to houses Let the renter beware1 Sure they're fun to have but they are generally the least economical and the most troublesome housing option. Rent is con siderably higher, anywhere from $400 for a single bed room to $1600 for a four to five bedroom house Deposits are larger, $200 to $300, often not refund able at all. Heating can be quite a financial burden, especially if a home lacks insulation, and generally garbage disposal is an added expense. Since the majority of rental homes within a 15-block radius of campus are older, beware of rats, mice and ants. Some landlords are reluctant to call an extermi nator, unless it's at the renters expense, so inspect Turn to MOVING. ILijjc 4B Save the Walls.
