Tenants should understand terms before signing leases
By SHARON ROSSE Staff Reporter
"Years and ye
80-pound cat," s
Lawrence resident
of South Florida,
you have to fight.
Before students sign their names to a lease, they should understand the terms of both the lease and the Kansas Landlord- Tenant Act, the director of the Lawrence Consumer Affairs Association, said last week.
"Students and landlords should take the time to read the Landlord-Tenant Act," said Clye Chapman, the director. "It is in legal language, but it is not so prohibitive that a student couldn't understand it."
Doug Word/KRMAN Shannon Parker, Bellevue, Neb. freshman, does her weekly wash in the Oliver Hall laundry. The weekend rush for washers in the residence halls makes it necessary for some residents to plan time between classes to do their laundry.
Cnapman said some leases don't include all of the obligations outlined in the Kansas Landlord-Tenant Act. But tenants and landlords must abide by the terms of both, even when they are not spelled out in the lease.
The landlord is responsible for knowing the law, but sometimes leases run counter to the law. Chapman said. Students usually don't discover the illegal clauses in the lease, however, until they have a problem with the landlord.
CHAPMAN SAID HE had seen one illegal clause that said the landlord could evict the tenant without due process if the tenant failed to meet the terms of the lease.
"The clause is not legal because it denies them due process," he said.
"There are certain procedures a landlord must follow before someone can be evicted."
Most leases, however, are similar and include standard requirements, he said.
Some leases may be more restrictive than others. For example, some landlords don't allow tenants to sublet the apartments themselves, and some don't allow pets.
Other landlords offer 10-month leases for students, but these usually cost more than rent.
Phil Hemphill, owner of Big Blue Management Inc., said he needed to charge more for 10-month leases so he could maintain the apartments or houses.
"I have to pay the same amount in 10 months that I do in 12," he said. "My mortgage payments are the same all year round."
Some leases might contain rules or responsibilities that the landlord chooses to include for reasons particular to the apartment or house.
Darrell McManness, rental agent for McManness Brothers Real Estate Rentals, said his leases didn't allow tenants to bring bicycles inside their apartments or outside the floors of the houses he rented had wooden doors that could be scratched by bicycles.
An automatic renewal clause requires tenants to give the landlord notice of renewal or termination. Some landlords
Chapman also said students sometimes got stuck in the same apartment for another year or lost their security deposit when they moved. He says it understand automatic renewal clauses.
ask for a 30-day notice, but recently more landlords have switched to a 60-day notice. Chapman said. If the tenant fails to comply automatically reneges itself, for another term.
Chapman said students should know the maximum amount that can be charged for security deposits. The landlord can ask for one half of the month's rent for an unfurnished apartment, one and a half of the month's rent for a furnished apartment and one half of the month's rent for a pet deposit, he said.
According to the Kansas Landlord- Tenant Act, landlords and tenants must go through the apartment or house together and fill out an inventory list detailing its condition. The list must be signed by both the landlord and the tenant, and the tenant should receive a copy of the list.
Chapman_said students often lost their security deposits because they didn't know whether they could hang things on the walls or make alterations.

the dam across from Bowersock Mills and Power Co. Sixth and New York streets, in hopes of catching a 60-pound trophy and perhaps a few minutes of fame.
WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sinks and worms, gracefully cut through the cool air and plunged into the water.
Snapshots of grinning fishermen proudly posing with their hefty catch areacked on a wall of Higgins Bait Shop. Second floor, from east from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
The lure of landing a big one drew Lawrence residents Jim Russell and Daryl Gates.
Biggers, however, took a more relaxed approach to fishing. He lounged on a rock
LAWRENCE'S GiANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 85-pound catfish would be about 10 inches deep, 300 crunchy, lightly battered fishies.
Sounds kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this isn't another tale about the big one that
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Higgins, the shop's owner.
Harvey Hasler, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle, 951 E. 23rd St., said the catfish were large because they were old and could find plenty of food in the Kaw to eat, such as small fish, frogs, crawdads and snakes.
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line." Russell said.
"Anything that wiggles and moves they'll eat," he said.
cause it is their nature to swim upstream and the dam blocks their path.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Jack Higgins said. "But they were wrong."
"People just don't catch 'em, so theyeyrow." he said.

But many years ago, fishermen dove into the water with large hooks lashed to their wrists to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said.
"I didn't do it," Higgins said. "I didn't want to water with nile fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. They can tear a man's hide off."
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
Jim Russell, Lawrence resident, baits his hook in hope of catching something to fill the frying pan. He was fishing Easter day on the Kaw River across from the Bowersock Mills and Power Co., Sixth and New York streets. Russell never caught the big one. He had to settle for a lot of nibbles and a five-inch channel catfish, which he tossed back.
According to an old fisherman "the tail" a man dove into the water and never came back.

Gorbachev announced Sunday that he had accepted President Reagan's call for a summit and would unilaterally halt deployment of Soviet triple-warhead SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gorbachev said the moratorium would last until November and he urged the United States to stop simultaneous deployment of 2 and cruise missiles in western Europe.
BUT THE WHITE HOUSE quickly dismissed the move as "not enough." citing a 10-1 Soviet superiority in medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe.
The deployment of 572 medium-range U.S. missiles in five European nations began in lute 1983 as part of the 1979 NATO plan to counter the SS-20s. The United States said the Soviets had 414 SS-20s operational, two-thirds of them aimed at western Europe.
Tass said yesterday that U.S. officials used "stale arguments" of Soviet missile superiority to reject Gorbachev's proposal and accused them of ignoring the threat. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
