The Commission discussed whether there are updated tips and questions to be included on Rent Smart Ames. Discussion turned to the meeting with landlords. Pete suggested the Commission tell them who they are, the charge of the Commission, and what they are seeing in terms of issues. Brian reminded the Commission that one of the questions the Council raised was what landlords wished the students knew before renting.
