The Collegian

As many students may be spending their first time away independently from home I think this article is great to give them the heads up on;
1) How some landlords will stereotype them
2) Their responsibility as members of a community that lives in an area
3) The kind of household/community they want to live within
4) Knowing their rights as a tenant

There are enough stresses when studying without having one's sanctuary become a locus for drama...

First off, lovely lede.

All other things I have to say (mostly shock and consternation over KR's woes) are for private conversation. What a set of stories.

Every student should be aware of Michigan's tenant/landlord guide. It summarizes the laws in an easily readable form.
