Tired of those obnoxious clods down the hall? Tired of shar- ing a bathroom with 20 other peo- ple? Maybe it's time to take that "momentous" step into the world of apartment-living. However, one soon discovers that finding an apartment is not as sim- ple as re-registering for the dorm. Other vigilante groups may beat you to just the place you want, empty houses disappear, and land- lords up rents just when you were ready to put your money down. Sometimes in the course of apart-' ment hunting, you discover that maybe you won't get on with your roommates as well as you thought you would. As the inevitable de- bates arise over whether to go modern or traditional, as poten- tial roomates decide to live in co- ops or go to Europe, the advan- tagesrofrapartment living slowly seem questionable. While the Off-Campus Housing Bureau cannot remedy all of these problems, it does provide assist- ance to potential apartment-dwel- lers in many ways. The Bureau, located on the sec- ond-floor of the Student Activities Building performs the following services: -keeps a formal registration re- cord of landlords and rental prop- erties; -lists vacancies as they become available; -lists vacancies for students who have apartments or houses and who need roomates to share the facilities and the expenses; -lists apartments or other ac- commodations for students when they wish to sublet if the address is registered with the bureau by the landlord; -supplies a Student Rental Agreement to registered landlords who will use it; -reviews other leases which, for troubled -maintains close liaison with the Ann Arbor Department of Building and Safety; -helps to interpret leases to stu- dents if they bring them in for the bureau to examine; -provides a sample of the Stu-, dent Rental Agreement to any stu- dent who wishes to use it as a guide when examining other leases he might be offered; and -helps women find jobs in pri- vate homes where they can earn their complete board and room (a few jobs are offered to men each fall.) Off-campus housing is primarily found in apartment buildings around campus, though there are a small number of rooms and houses available. Most apartments are in new or relatively new buildings, which will be filled with groups of single stu- dents as a rule. New efficiency apartments which have been de- signed for two single students aver- age about $160 a month plus elec- tricity. Most apartments, however, have been designed for three, four, or five students, with a price range from $60 to $80 per person per month. While most are furnished, they sometimes do not have a desk for each person or enough end tables, lamps, or pillows. They are in- variably carpeted throughout and most have room air conditioners. The more plush apartments have fine furniture, dishwashers, and central air conditioning. A few buildings have swimming pools, study rooms, party rooms, and T. V. lounges. Apartment buildings don't al- ways offer parking facilities. While future buildings in Ann Arbor must provide parking facilities, build- ings presently without parking fa- cilities are not required to provide them. some order those I There is very little available nowj in older, inexpensive apartments, and such buildings are usually found by chance. If fit to live in, it usually will be snapped up by the first person who makes an ap-l pointment to see it. Very rarely are one-man apart- ments available for $100 a month. Also rare are two-man apartments for $125 a month. Therefore, only luck or ingenuity will find such a place for apartment hunters. There are quite a few rooms still available each year though the number is diminishing. Linens and cleaning are sometimes pro- vided in these rooms, but not al- ways. They are only furnished with the necessities for sleeping and Oetaion shrdlu cmfwyp shrdl eao studying. Some rooms are shabby while others are luxurious in beautiful, private " homes. Once in a while, one finds a small rooming house with kitchen privileges. If the place is clean and the landlord maintains it as such, this is a very good fi- nancial arrangement if all one wants is a place to cook and a modicum of privacy. Another way to economize is to take a room near an Inter-Cooper- ative Council house and eat meals at the ICC house. Sometimes fra- ternities offer meals to students who are not members, while some frats and sororities are now taking in non-members for both room and board. It is almost impossible to sublet a room during the- summer, so it is advisable not to sign a twelve- month lease for a sleeping room. There is' a very large demand for single family houses by groups of students but unfortunately there are not many available. The beauty of sharing a large family house with several other students is that each person can have his own bedroom, while the other facilities are larger than in most apartments. For instance, Campus Bedroom most houses have dining rooms, porches and basements. The price for a furnished house varies from about $50 to $80 per person per month. The rents. on houses usually do not include util- ity costs. Having found the apartment you want, (or the one you're stuck' with), you must sign an application or a lease and put a deposit down on the apartment. Whatever you must sign, it is important to read it and understand it. The landlord will also ask you to pay the rent for the first and last e mor depo If mos pare Th that once adva mak, if o own Soul few laur chi 1 I I I Air-Conditioned Garbage Disposal Excellent Location MAYNARD HOUSE CALL 769-1380 FORUM 726 S.
