Under the leadership of LHU Student Cooperative Council President Jason Cristofaro, a group of concerned<br />
students have formed a committee to examine the issues students face in leasing agreements. The "Rental<br />
Agreements Committee" is designing a plan of action which will complement off-campus student programs<br />
Looking at both the condition of facilities in which students live as well as the legal concerns of leasing agreements,<br />
the committee is designing a student pamphlet which will explain their rights and responsibilities in a<br />
rental situation. Working in conjunction with <strong>Lock</strong> <strong>Haven</strong> City officials, the students are planning to eventually<br />
have lawyers come to<br />
campus to address specific<br />
student concerns in<br />
this area. They are also<br />
hoping to bring landlords<br />
to campus for discussion<br />
groups. Their goal is to<br />
provide assistance this<br />
semester for students<br />
searching for housing<br />
