In this light, Council wishes to help students and landlords head off the conflicts that routinely arise from mutual misunderstandings. This fall, the Housing Affairs Committee will unveil a comprehensive website resource for students posted by Council's newly formed Cavalier Tenants Association. This site will present students with the basic information they need to know about living off-Grounds, both before signing a lease and after moving in. In conjunction with this resource, Student Council's Housing Affairs Committee will conduct a major forum this fall, in order to share our work with the public. Student Council looks forward to working in cooperation with the Parents Program, which is developing a checklist and guide for the parents of students considering a move away from University housing.
Students often say that they want to see more landlord accountability in off-Grounds housing.
With this request, however, comes an obligation that students act as responsible citizens within the Charlottesville community. The Cavalier Daily, Incorporated. All rights reserved.
