Students who intend to sublease their apartment this summer may not understand the risks involved, said the property manager of a campus rental agency.People need to understand they are ultimately responsible for people they sublease to, said Glenn Vanik, property manager for Inn-Town Homes.”They shouldn’t take the first person that comes knocking on the door,” he said.”The supply always exceeds demand,” Vanik said. “There are definitely more students who want to sublease their apartments than there are students who are looking for one.” It is important to screen the person who wishes to sublet, said Inder Sethi, owner of Landis Properties, because sometimes the people you sublease to can be uncooperative and cause problems. It’s important to consider the person who is subleasing and their background, he said.Michele VanChieri, office manager of Pella Co., said the company has had few problems with subleasing. “My only concern is for the original tenant,” she said. “Sometimes they are just too anxious to get someone to pay rent, and they aren’t choosing responsibly.”Some rental agencies, including Pella Co., Fox Meadows and Oxford Rentals, require the people who sublet and tenants to complete a form that provides a record of the sublease. If a dispute over payment or damages should occur during the sublease period, the form can serve as a contract in small claims court.Other rental agencies, including Landis Properties and Inn-Town Homes, require tenants to seek permission before deciding to sublease their apartment.Kurt Bohman, a senior majoring in CIS, hopes to sublet his five-bedroom apartment and is even willing to negotiate rent. “This is the first time I’ve sublet my apartment, but the most important thing I can do is meet the people who are interested in living here,” Bohman said.To advertise the apartment, Bohman created fliers to post in campus buildings, contacted the engineering co-op office and the Office of Student Affairs.Other tenants, including Courtney Collins, a sophomore majoring in elementary education, are only advertising their subleases in fliers distributed to friends.”I want someone that I trust and that my roommates will get along with,” she said. “I don’t want to pick someone freewill and end up regretting it later.”Negotiable rent sounds favorable to students looking for a sublease, said Emily McPherson, a senior majoring in pharmacy.”It’s expensive to sublease around campus,” she said. “My friends and I are trying to fit three or four people in a two-bedroom apartment just so we can afford it.”McPherson said she looks for honesty from tenants in her search for a sublease, expecting the same treatment from tenants that she would from a landlord.Greg Bertifon, manager of Oxford Rentals, said students should start searching for subleases now.”The earlier the better,” he said. “But things are always changing, so it’s really never too late.”
