Then get ready for...
When some students moved into new homes this fall, their eyes opened wide at the sight of dirty windows, walls and carpets.
Students who rent apartments or houses in Lawrence sometimes suspect landlords of avoiding the cleaning and repairs promised to them before they signed their leases. But they often do not know
Jo Hardesty, director and attorney for Legal Services for Students at KU, said that since June, about 100 cases had been filed in which students claimed they had problems with landlords.
By Mauricio Rios Kansan staff writer
Hardesty said the problems ranged from cleaning to security deposits.
Complaints range from keys not working to bad repairs, ignoring rights of tenants
Renting often risky for KU students
She said landlords and students usually shared the blame for problems. But the service recently has received a larger number of cases in which landlords were at fault, she said.
at Benchwarmers 9:00 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8 Featuring Mill House Nixons
Legal Services for Students will advise students of their rights for free.
"We see more cases of students taken advantage of," she said.
Anchor Bash
Michele Kessler, staff attorney for Legal Services for Students, said the service had received complaints about almost every apartment complex in Lawrence.
Money goes to Aid to the Blind And Sight Conservation locally and nationally
She said students had to educate themselves about their rights and responsibilities as tenants.
Jose Ballesteros, who lives in a house at 1219 Kentucky St., said his landlord did not live up to promises made to him and his roommates.

"The very first thing that happened was that the key wouldn't even open the front door," said Ballesteros, Quito, Ecuador,juniur. "So we came in through the back door."
"Landlords think they get away with many things, and they do." she said.
Mary Jacobson, owner of Property Management Services, declined to comment.
"Our expectation was to get a clean house, but it wasn't." he said.
"They put us in front of everybody because of the letter," he said. "I wonder about people whose parental education is poor."
He said he had to clean cabinets and shelves.
Karla Mattsson, Midland, Mich., graduate student, said she also had some problems when she rented an apartment at Sunrise Place, 837 Michigan St.
Ballesteros said that it had been more than a month since he and his roommates moved into the house and that windows still needed screens. One of the showers also was disconnected.
When Ballesteros called his landlord, Property Management Services, the service told him that it was up to him to resolve the issue.
"Landlords think they get away with many things and they do."
"There was dust all over the carpet," she said.
Mattson said the landlord offered to clean the carpet but added that it would take two days to dry. Mattson said she and her mother ended up cleaning it.
But Wade Spencer, assistant manager of Sunrise Village, said the complex's cleaning staff tried to clean the best it could. Sunrise Place and Sunrise Village are under the same management.
- Michele Kessler, staff attorney for Legal Services for Students
"We all get treated badly because we really need to rent." she said.
William Lemesay, co-owner and manager of Lorimar Town Homes, 502 Country Club Terrace, said some students behaved like children when leasing a place to live.
Spencer said that when people signed leases, they had to expect that everything would not always run perfectly in their apartments.
Spiencer said most complaints were about maintenance, not about cleaning.
Lemesany, who also co-owns two other apartment complexes, said there were bad tenants as well as bad landlords.
"If it's an emergency, we attend to it right away." he said.
He said there were landlords who charged tenants money for scratches left on walls.
"The majority of Lawrence landlords are not that technical," he said. "And university students are by and large the best tenants in the world."
