11 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT…
SIGNING A LEASE
BLINDLY AGREEING TO ANYTHING IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA, WHETHER IT’S MEETING UP WITH THAT TOO-GOOD-TO-BE-TRUE TINDER DATE OR SIGNING UP FOR THAT “EASY” ENGINEERING ELECTIVE. LIKE MOST THINGS IN COLLEGE, IT’S IMPORTANT TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. SIGNING YOUR FIRST LEASE IS NO EXCEPTION. HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO AVOID GOING MENTAL OVER YOUR FIRST RENTAL. MADDIE RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES
11 YOU’RE NOT ALONE According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard, nearly 43 million American households are renting. Though finding the perfect apartment and signing an agreement may seem stressful to you, remember that millions of people are in the same boat.
10 DO SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | JUNE 23, 2016

Most parts of a rental agreement will look like gibberish to a first-time renter. You don’t have to be fluent in legalese to sign a lease, but you should be smart about what you’re signing. Read the entire document thoroughly, especially the fine print. If you don’t understand something, ask your landlord to clarify. Then let a parent or trusted friend review it and point out any surprises or concerns. Don’t act like you know what “submetering” or “subletting” is when you sign the lease, only to be thrown for a loop later.
9 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS As you agree to the laws of the land(lord), don’t forget that the state gives you protections under tenant-landlord laws. For example, a surprise visit from your landlord is illegal in most instances, and the owner or
rental agent must give you ample notice and time to move out if your lease is not renewed.
8 GIVE YOURSELF SOME CREDIT Most landlords will ask for credit scores, a background check and your housing history. If you have poor or no previous credit or this is your first apartment, you might need to get a co-signer. This would be a parent or other established relative with good credit history and a stable income who’s willing to sign the lease as a promise to pay the rent on time if you can’t.
7 ORAL AGREEMENTS AREN’T WORTH THE PAPER THEY’RE NOT WRITTEN ON. If you choose to live with roommates, whether they’re your best friend or strangers, it’s important to hold them accountable. Professionals in the rental industry recommend that you require that all tenants sign the lease. The last thing you want is to be left high and dry with the rent when your roomie bails to go live with her boyfriend mid-semester.
6 ADDITIONAL FEES MAY APPLY Not all leases are created equal. Make sure you know if and
what utilities are included in your rent. Even if it says utilities are included in the ad, find out if there are utilities that are NOT included – who pays for water, electricity, cable? Are there hidden costs, such as a pet deposit? (“Dogs are welcome” doesn’t generally translate to “Dogs are free.”)
5 NOISE COMPLAINTS Living sans parents doesn’t mean living sans rules. Make sure you’re aware of the complex’s quiet hours and policies and be prepared to respect them.
4 PAWS CLAUSE If you have a four-legged friend you can’t live without, make sure you’re wise on the apartment’s
pet policies. Some apartment buildings allow cats, but not dogs and some are very strict about having only human tenants. Even if they allow dogs, ask if there is a weight limit. Don’t sign a lease planning to sneak your pup into your apartment. It doesn’t end well. There are pet-friendly apartments in the market, but be prepared to pay a pet deposit.
3 MARKET RENT RATE According to Rent Jungle, the going monthly rate for an average apartment within 10 miles of Tempe, for instance, is $1,225 as of May 2016. Good news: The average apartment rent over the past six months has decreased by $10. Every little bit helps.
2 SECURITY CHECKPOINT Most landlords will ask for first and last month’s rent upfront as well as a security deposit that, assuming you don’t punch holes in the walls and spill wine all over the carpet, will be returned to you when you move out. Make sure you are prepared for this major cash outlay.
1 PAY YOUR DUES The rent is due at the same time every month, often the first of the month. While this may seem obvious, be ready to pay the piper promptly. They didn’t create late fees for nothin’.

FACE-TO-FACE: CREATING & MAINTAINING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS WILLIAM HAGEMAN • CHICAGO TRIBUNE
W
hen the best neighbors–the c’monover-for-a-cookout neighbors, the we-baked-yousome-brownies neighbors–can infuriate you. Maybe it’s how their kids race their bikes up and down the sidewalk all the time. Or how they blast the stereo at all hours. And does anyone really need 15 cats? The aggrieved person, having finished those brownies, has several ways to deal with the bad neighbor. Some are effective; some are not. Among the latter is the solution many have come to rely upon: Call the police. No matter that the neighbor isn’t doing

anything dangerous or illegal. No matter that the police have real crimes to deal with. Calling the cops almost has become a default solution, one that’s not especially productive. “No one likes having the police called on them,” said Will Reimers, a neighborhood contact officer with the Boise (Idaho) Police Department. “Oftentimes that makes things worse, when suddenly police show up and start talking to you. People resent that. So it’s not the best first step.” What is the best first step? Try talking to each other. “It seems today that talking to your neighbors is something that has fallen out of fashion,”
THE LATEST POOP
TEMPE APARTMENT GOES HIGH-TECH TO FINE OWNERS OF DOGS WHO LEAVE BUSINESS BEHIND DANIEL OCHOA
A
Tempe apartment complex is ready to clean up on residents who don’t pick up after their pets. To identify which pets were leaving their calling cards
behind, DNA tests were given to residents’ pets. They had their cheeks swabbed, which was not harmful to the animals. The DNA results are then kept by a private lab.
Reimers said. “It’s just not done as much anymore. But it’s an old technique that should be resurrected.” “I think too many people are afraid to talk to the neighbor, afraid of having a hostile reaction or (being thought) a kook,” said Ted Rueter, founder and director of Noise Free America (noisefree.org), an organization that seeks to bring noise pollution issues to the attention of the public and elected officials. “You’ve got to take that first step.”
NOISEMAKERS:
dogs, screaming kids, motorcycles, lawn mowers being used extremely early in the day or too late at night. “A Census Bureau report in 1999 indicated noise was the No. 1 complaint people had about their neighborhood and the No. 1 reason people want to move,” Rueter said. That doesn’t seem to have changed. The online site rentersinsurance.net puts noise at the top of the list of complaints about neighbors. Resolution of any problem, from noise to intrusive children, should begin with a calm, polite discussion with the neighbor. Just don’t do it when the offending activity is happening. That will only make him defensive and raise tensions. Walk over, be pleasant and broach the issue. Frequently, the offending neighbor will have no idea that he’s making you crazy. “They say, ‘Why didn’t they come to me first (instead of calling the police)?’ I hear that with noise disputes,” Reimers said. Explaining the problem in a respectful, even-tempered way can lead to further discussion. And if you’re lucky, a solution. “I had a neighbor when I lived in Wisconsin who had a leaf blower,” Rueter said. “He used it all the time. So I talked to him and said, ‘This is very bothersome to me.’ He said, ‘Hey, I’m in my 60s and I want my lawn to look nice.’ The agreement we came to, he’d do his lawn at the same time every week. So on Tuesdays from 9 to 10, he’d get out the leaf blower and I’d leave.”
OUTSIDE PEACEMAKERS:
Noise is a universal neighborhood complaint: loud stereos or home theater systems, barking
Not all neighbors are that reasonable; not all solutions are
If the maintenance staff discovers owners haven’t picked up after their dogs, DNA is recovered from the dog’s leavings and then sent to a private lab to be tested. The results are then sent to the apartment’s management team. DNA testing is $75, and violators are charged $250. Currently, nearly 270 people live at Residences at Fountainhead, the complex relying on doggy DNA for enforcement. Nearly 20% are dog owners. Nicole Spector, assistant manager and resident of Residences at Fountainhead,
said the DNA testing is a great way for residents to be more accountable for their pets and the apartment complex. “It keeps it clean for residents and other people who walk around the grass areas,” she said. “No one wants to get fined $250.” The DNA testing has been successful. Only one resident has been fined since the apartment opened last year in April. “People not picking up after
that easy. If there is a landlord, contact him or her; they usually know how to deal with bad tenants. Sometimes, though, a third party needs to be called in – another neighbor, perhaps. But even then, those driveway conversations aren’t always productive. “Sometimes we end up with a situation where there is so much bad blood over many years that somebody has to step in and be a neutral party,” Reimers said. Mediation involves a neutral third party who sits down with both sides in a formal setting and tries to come to an agreement. Mediation can head off a dispute before it escalates, and it avoids having to go through the court system. There are mediators and mediation groups across the country (go to nafcmorg/public/ findhelp to find one near you).
AS A LAST RESORT: Of course, diplomacy doesn’t always work. There may be no reasoning with the neighbor. He may be stubborn. He may just be a jerk. Then you grab the phone. If municipal ordinances are being broken – we repeat, does anyone really need 15 cats? – call the city. The same with possible health violations, such as the open burning of trash. Sometimes, though, law enforcement is the best bet. “When one party feels someone may be hurt, we want to be called,” Reimers said. “If it’s gotten out of control, where someone is going to pick up a shovel or strike a person, we should be called. Once physical violence occurs, it’s pretty hard to repair a relationship.”
their pets is probably the biggest complaint by residents in any apartment complex,” said Kris Tomlinson, property manager. “We don’t have that problem here because people know that if they don’t pick up after their dogs, they are going to get caught and fined. It eliminates 100% of pet waste on the property.” For additional information about Residences at Fountainhead, call 480.659.2534.

“Is the money you save worth having a roommate? “Yes. I can use the money I save toward purchasing stuff for my own place once I move out of the shared apartment. Life is expensive, though. Sharing a place with someone will only benefit your bank account.” – CAROL ROMERO, FRESHMAN, ASU
“Yes, a roommate is worth having so you can have more money for food and other things you want to buy. If I have to pay for it all alone, it would be a struggle. I can always get a new roommate if I get one that does not work out.” – TRAVIS WARD, FRESHMAN, ASU

“Yes, everything is so expensive. Roommates can become really good friends and you can help each other out with moral support. I have had two really great roommates in the past who I still hang out with.” – JULIA DRAKE, JUNIOR, NAU
“No, saving money is not worth it. I had a roommate who ate all of my food and also wore my clothes without my permission. She had friends over at all hours of the night and day and they were really loud when I was trying to study or sleep. ” – KAITE ROMERO, SENIOR, GCU

What makes you a good roommate? I make a good roommate because I am a very neat, organized person and hate messes. I am on top of any payments; I look ahead to the end of the month, and make sure I have that much money set aside.
What makes you a good roommate? I get along with everyone, and I love to hang out and just chill. I love to cook and share what I’ve made.
What new feature do you hope your next apartment will have? I hope my next apartment will have nice amenities such as a pool or gym. What’s more important to you: the cost or the location of a new apartment or condo? The cost is the most important to me when choosing an apartment. If you have a decent car, bike, legs to help you travel from point A to B, the cost should be the biggest concern.
What new feature do you hope your next apartment will have? I would like to have a pool, weight room and free internet. Some social events would be fun, too. What’s more important to you: the cost or the location of a new apartment or condo? Cost is the most important thing to me so I can have money to spend on the things I love to do. I can always ride my skateboard or get a ride from a friend going the same direction.

ongratulations on making it this far; you’ve decided to take the jump and move into an apartment either by yourself or with roommates. Choosing an apartment to live in is a long-term commitment, often requiring a minimum six-month lease, but more often requiring a ninemonth or one-year lease. Picking the right place is more than just snagging the biggest apartment with the best amenities and lowest price. One of the first things you should consider when choosing a place to live is location. Owning a car certainly gives you greater flexibility in where you can live but, with escalating gas prices, choosing

Choosing the right type of complex is equally important. Are you a party animal looking at an apartment community known for families and a quiet atmosphere? Perhaps you might want to consider an alternate location. Conversely, are you a bookish type prone to early bedtimes and serious studying? Maybe the place known for its all-night Friday and Saturday parties isn’t the right choice for you. Speak to current tenants, read reports online and do your research before signing your name to the dotted line. You’ll be much happier in the long run if you do.
IS ACNE HOLDING YOU BACK? A clinical study, sponsored by Novan, is currently underway to evaluate an investigational medication for acne vulgaris on the face. Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that consists of blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and sometimes deeper lumps called nodules or cysts. This study will last approximately 3 months. You may be a candidate for this study if you: • Are a healthy male or female 9 years of age
and older
• Have moderate to severe facial acne • Have at least 20 pimples • Are available for up to 6 visits to the
research clinic
• Are willing to apply investigational
medication or placebo for 12 weeks
• Are willing to not use any other acne
treatment during the study Additional entry criteria apply. Qualified participants will receive related medical examinations and study medication at no cost, and may be eligible for compensation for their time and travel. For more information, contact:

an apartment close to the places you’ll be going most frequently can save you money and time. If you don’t have a car, picking a place that’s close to your job, campus or a bus or rail line is equally important. Also ask yourself: How much space do I really need? While some Valley apartment complexes include utilities with their rent charges, many do not. Arizona’s hot summers can drive the cost of utilities sky high. Ask yourself: are 16-foot ceilings necessary? Do I really need a guest bedroom? Decisions like these can save you hundreds of dollars over the term of a lease in energy costs alone.

• Live within your means. Be sure to make a wise choice when it comes to how you’ll use your utilities. You might want to forgo cable and internet all together.
HOW TO SET UP UTILITIES • Check with your apartment complex or landlord to see what utilities they cover. Most will cover the cost of water and garbage collection. Some complexes might cover electric and cable to entice new and continuing renters. • Call the utility company to get things set up.

The amount will automatically be withdrawn from your account each month, taking the hassle out of writing a check, logging on or remembering to pay. • Use the bare minimum. To save a little moola, turn off the lights, television and any other electric appliances whenever you leave the room. Also be aware that power companies, under certain plans, charge more for electricity used during the day. Power is generally cheaper after 9 p.m. and on weekends. This way you can save money and use it toward the little luxuries.

SAFETY IS KEY AT HOME AND ON CAMPUS
I
t might seem like your parents were a broken record, because every time you went out while still living at home, they yelled after you “… and be careful!” Did you ever think that they may be right? Perhaps you should be careful? Here’s what we know: Being careful doesn’t mean being the creepy kid in the back of the room with a belt full of sprays, gels and contraptions, but it does means using logic and common sense when making decisions. And, please be aware that this is not meant to scare you or make you worried, but most of Arizona’s college campuses and the spaces between them and your home are public, and this means that anyone can legally be on or near them at any time.
Some advice:
ALWAYS KNOW WHO IS AROUND YOU This goes for on campus, at home and when you’re out. If you know who’s around you, you know who you can turn to for help, and who you should avoid, like that creepy kid in the back of the room with a belt on full of sprays, gels and contraptions.
CHARGE YOUR CELLPHONE EVERY NIGHT It might sound like a pain to remember to plug in your phone every night, but it will pay off when you need it.
ALWAYS HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY
This is important whether you’re on campus, at home or out. And it isn’t meant to make you paranoid, but it is definitely a good thing to know how to get out of a situation. Have a party buddy to call on if you become uncomfortable. Know how to get out of the classroom as fast as possible. Always know the safest way to get out of your house.
GET ICE’D ICE stands for “in case of emergency.” ICE phone numbers should be clearly marked in your phone, so that if a firefighter or police officer needs to call your family, he or she can look for ICE Mom or ICE (insert boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s name here).

STUDENTS RELY ON VALLEY METRO FOR TRANSPORTATION
I
f only you had a friend who could pick you up near campus and drive you to the restaurants and bars of downtown Phoenix or to an Arizona Diamondbacks game. Or up Scottsdale Road to your new job in Old Town, or to your classes at the Phoenix campus ... Actually, you do. Meet Valley Metro, your new reliable friend who is eager to take you all over town. Hop on Valley Metro Rail
and, for only $4, you can buy an all-day pass and ride between the Tempe and downtown Phoenix campuses, or travel as far as downtown Mesa, or all the way to Dunlap Avenue in northwest Phoenix. The ASU “U-Pass” covers students for the entire academic year for $200, a fraction of the nearly $800 required for some student parking permits. Many students don’t realize they can also ride light rail for
free when headed downtown to Talking Stick Resort Arena for a basketball game, concert or other event. If you have a ticket to an arena event, you can ride free of charge to and from the event. The easy way to get schedules, light rail and bus route maps, and real-time arrival information is to use Ridekick, Valley Metro’s app. With the app, you can plan a trip using an interactive map, bookmark your favorite
routes and destinations, view fares and sales locations and find bus stops and park-andrides. Learn more at www. valleymetro.org/ridekick. And if you live in downtown Scottsdale, don’t forget the increased bus service on Route 72 along Rural and Scottsdale roads. Buses run every 10 minutes on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. That makes Route 72 an easy answer to get south to downtown Tempe or north
to Scottsdale Fashion Square. That is welcome news to students who work—or shop— at stores and restaurants in the two downtowns. Leave the driving to Valley Metro and instead of watching traffic, you can watch game highlights, catch up on social media, listen to music or finish the last-minute homework. Don’t forget to use Valley Metro to avoid the traffic and parking hassles.
