Government Liaison Committee Chairman Andrew Loudon said GLC would be investigat ing discrepancies between Nebraska statutes and the American Bar Association’s recom mendations dealing with tenant/landlord rela tions. Loudon said he was concerned some Uni versity of Nebraska-Lincoln students were not being treated fairly by their landlords. He said UNL’s Student Legal Services had received large numbers of complaints each year from student tenants who thought they were wrongly fined or that too much of their deposits were withheld. Loudon has started keeping a record of the complaints, hoping to find a way to aid stu dents. One solution he is investigating involves the American Bar Association’s suggestions for landlord/tenant relations. Since 1975, Loudon said, the ABA has recommended that tenants who contest the return of their deposits could, if proven right, win attorney fees and monetary amounts great er than their original deposits. However, the ABA suggestions do not have to be adopted by individual states. Nebraska state law awards only the original deposit and attorney fees to tenants who take their landlords to court. Loudon said he was concerned about land lords who owned more than one property. It is possible, he said, that a landlord who owns several properties could withhold all the ten ants’ deposits, hoping only a few would sue. In this scenario, even if tenants did take their landlord to court and win, Loudon said, the landlord would only pay what the tenants were entitled to in the first place, the amount of the original deposit. Although the tenants also would be entitled to lawyer fees, many student tenants seek legal services at the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska office, where there are no attorney fees. Loudon said he wanted to begin lobbying the Nebraska Legislature immediately to have the statute changed. He is concentrating on finding senators who would support the cause, and he is encouraging students who believe they have been cheated by their landlords to notify GLC. “We need people next year to testify that they have been ripped off (by their landlords),” Loudon said. He believes changing this statute could pre vent landlords from taking advantage of stu dents, because more money would be at stake. If students have complaints regarding their landlords, they can contact Loudon at the GLC office. Enjoy A Free Dessert With The Purchase Of Any Spaghetti Lunch or Dinner.
