Lease termination tricky
Rv LESLIE GUILD
Staff Renorter
As the end of the semester rapidly approaches, some student renters must face legal problem if they don't notify landlords of their rent.
Although the Kansas Landlord/Tenant Act recommends a standard notification time of 30 days before the date on which tenants plan to vacate, Susie Hanna, Consumer Affairs Association campus represent and students yesterday that the length of time can vary.
"Even though 30 days is the standard, some complexes in Lawrence have notification times of up to 90 days," she said. "Whatever is stated in the contract that both parties have agreed to is what is legal."
Local landlords indeed have varying notification time requirements.
*Park-25 Apartments*, 2410 W. 25th St., has a 96-day notification period. Ellen Bray, Park-25 spokesman, said 90 days was needed to receive the notice.
"WE ACTUALLY don't need more than 60 days," Bray said, "but we ask for 90 to ensure that we will be able to re-rent the apartment. In the case of student renters, we have to know early because other students want to rent for the following year beginning in April."
She said the office work took time to complete.
Frontier Ridge Apartments, 524 Fronter Road, and Gatehouse Apartments, 2166 W. 26th St. have no notification period in their
"It's a bureaucratic problem of sorts," she said. "By the first of May we just can't have people still telling us that they are moving out. We cannot get the things done that we need to get the apartments ready to rent again."
"It's just a matter of courtesy with us," Nelson Hall, manager for both complexes, said. "Our tenants just tell us when they are."
VILLEAGE SQUARE Apartments, 850 Avalon Road, requires a 30-day notice.
"When signing a contract, students should be leary of any automatic response. The said, 'If they don't give notice, then you will be fined.'"
HANNA SAID she had had several complaints from students who did not give notification in time.
*sand* said that with some contracts, if notification were not given then the contract automatically was renewed.
Barbara Finley, Jayhawker Towers Apartments manager, said Barbara Finley, St., did not have a notification period and bened not send notice.
"The only thing they can do is give their notification right then" *they* should give a give them a break, they should think about submitting the apartment
Joe Stroup, Village Square manager, said, "we expect 30-days just like the stater. And we send reminders to each tenant 30-days."
Hanna said a 90-day notification period caused hardships for students.
"Especially with students, it's hard for them to know three months in advance what they plan to do," she said. "But if that's what the contract calls for and the renters don't abide by it, the landlord can use for rent due for another year."
HANNA SAID, however, that the landlords had to show a monetary loss before another year 's rent could be collected.
"The loss incurred by the landlord must be proven," she said. He must show that the apartment could not rented and that a mortgage had been filed.

Legal Aid representative Laurence Rose said most landlords could not a set year's rent by enforcing non-notification.
"The apartment complex must show the damages," he said. Without this, few can make a tenant who has forgotten to give rent a chance.
Rose said students who found themselves in this situation should seek the advice of Legal Aid or the student Legal Services lawyer.

Truck hits cars despite brake
"I will survive this as long as I get a new car," Bedwell said. "Right now I'm going to try to contact the insurance company and try to get home this weekend."
B迪斯 Dicus, Topea junior; Anne Harrington, Kansas City, KA; freshman; and Liz Jervis, Omaha, Neb., senior, other the cars involved in the accident.
Bedwell's car, which was left lying on its passenger side, with its left end lodged between the rear right wheel of the truck cab, received the most damage.

"After we saw what had happened, he asked me to be a witness to the fact that the truck was in the right gear, that the wheel was flat, that he had placed a block behind the tire.
"I was just going in to check some addresses," Dobbs said. "Then this girl came and told me my truck had just rolled over." She could not help, I cared. I thought she was kidding at first.

Dobbs, whose truck was carrying 800 pounds of groceries, attributed the accident to the low compression engine in the truck.
A food delivery truck rolled down an incline yesterday near the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and struck four cars. The officers asked sorority members for directions.
The driver of the truck, Ben Dobbs, 25, Route 1, Karnie, Mo., said he pulled into the driveway to make a delivery, put the car in low gear and set the emergency brake.
According to a police report, the cars,
belonging to four members of the sorority,
at Gower Place, received more than $300
in damages.
About 45 persons gathered to watch the tow trucks pick the vehicles apart.
"This wouldn't have happened before 1972," Dobbs said. "That's when they started installing those engines to save on pollution."
"I used to be a body mechanic," Dobbs said. "Maybe I should've stuck with that."
No one was injured or arrested as result of the accident.
