Tenant/Landlord Relations:
Deb shared that the Commission is invited to another landlord meeting organized by
Kurt Kruger.
Plans for a landlord/tenant forum continued. Sandeep is composing an email to
landlords and will share it with Commission members prior to sending it out. Warren
stated that it’s important to include the larger property management entities (Friedrich,
Haverkamp, Hunziker, and Jensen Corp). Tom added that the local property managers
for the large specialized complexes are more aware of issues than the regional CEOs of
those companies.
Sandeep will also identify students to participate in the forum. Deb will check on
availability of some of the churches near campustown.
The purpose of the forum is to identify desired outcomes of both landlords and students
and to avoid rebuttal. The top issues are deposits and tenants getting those back and
the annual July 31st turnover.
Tom suggested that the next date of the Commission meeting coincide with the forum.
Tom moved that Sandeep develop a list together of students to participate in the forum
including the rationale for selection of those students and to develop potential topics.
Karin seconded. Motion carried.
Warren move Tom as forum moderator and Martha seconded. Motion carried.
