<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Rent Control Board <br /> <br />Since the enrollment at SWT has continuously increased each year, swr <br /> <br /> <br />students have been plaoed into a position where landlords oan and do ex- <br /> <br /> <br />ploit the situation by raising the rents on the1r property without coneern <br /> <br /> <br />for students. There have even been oases where lanUords have ousted stu- <br /> <br /> <br />dents for various reasons only to hep the deposits when there were no <br /> <br /> <br />damage to the living quarters to justify deposit retentions. <br /> <br /> <br />Therefore, to protect students from having the1r rent deposits unjust- <br /> <br /> <br />ly tak,n'from them by landlords, ani to proteot student~' interest from <br /> <br /> <br />excessive housing rent, a rent eontrol board is being asked for. <br /> <br /> <br />The basic format for the make up of this rent control board is the <br /> <br /> <br />same one previously endorsed by the Hays County Independent Party. Copy <br /> <br /> <br />of this plan will be provided. <br />
