Qaestlcn: I live in a residence hell
this semester, bat my roommate and I
want to rent an apartment for this
summer and next year. Do you have any
information on how to go about finding
an apartment, signing a lease, etc?
f Cried V.!.!.D.
'Answer: Ycu should pick up the
Student Legal Services Handbook in
our cSke, Nebraska Union 335. The
UndSord-Tenant section cfTcrs tips on
renting an 'ep&rtctent. Here ere seme
things to consider:

fey is a f"zJL tir.3 to find a place in
Lincoln. IT. preferred method is by
resontntendstions of Mends. Moving
into a Mend's former apartment or
moving into a building where you know
the people insures that you will know
what you are getting into if you bother
to find ott.
Many people use the want ads for
finding o apartraent. - You can save
time by eliminating those apartments -that
are not right for you by finding out
as much information as you can on the
telephone. Ycu have a cat. Dees the
landlord accept small pets? Once you
narrow you list to apartments you want
to look at, set up an appointment with
the landlord. Never rent s apsrfcaent
without taking the time to thoroughly
examine it first. '
Some of the best apartments are not
advertised. Try walking around in the
neighborhood where you want to live
ar.d lock for "apartment for rent" sips.
Apartment rental agencies are listed
in the yellow pages of the phone book.
If you sre prised for time cr have to be '
out of town, this my be a good
alternative.

renting tips
Rent. (You can find one cn page 1 1 of
the handbook.) The inventory helps
you remember some of the things you
should notice about the place. Does
the oven work? Does the air condi
tioner work? How is the apartment
heated and does the tenant have to pay
for the heat ? (Call the utility company
later to find out heating costs. AU you
have to do is give them the address.)
What are the arrangements for parking
and storage? Are laundry facilities
made available to tenants? Is thare a
bug problem? Are there secure locks cn
the doors? Think about how the place
will lock at right. Is there enough light
ing in the parking lot cr entrr.vey for
safety? - .

taB&l&s. Does the landlord hare a
reputation for net returning damage
deposits? Are repairs made prcrrptly?
Are the heat bilb high? Even though
the place looks good, it usadly it best
not to rent from a landlord with a bad
reputation.
srJH witii verbal pr&zaises isto
Hi?, lzzr.2. If the landlord wants a one
year lease but you and your reosnate are
graduating in 10 months, ask him to
change the length of the term and
initial it. If the landlord ofters to paint
the bathroom before you move in,
politely ask him to write the promise in
the lease -and initial it.
Fiesd tuc lease before yoi
sign it Better yet, have a lawyer read
it. If the landlord says the heat is paid,
lock for the clause in the lease that
spells it cut. Some leases will have
clauses tht conflict with the Nebraska
Residential Landlord Tenant Act and
are not enforceable. Outdated, illegal
clauses may not be enough reason to
pass cn an otherwise good apartment,
but you should be aware of them. Net
all landlords will require you to sign a
iaase, but if you do sip one, it consti
tutes your agreement and verbal prom
ises generally don't count.'
O Ocas5sr sigsjifc. Iacii"
isste Contract This agreement is
between the roommates and has nothing
to do with the landlord. (A sample con
tract is on page 10 of the handbook.) A
roommate contract lets everyone know
from the start what their obligations
are regarding the apartment.

that it is up to the individual, Anderson
Smokers must want to participate in
