Q&A: Housing experts give tips to new renters

Millicent Watt

Assistant News Editor With the temperature dropping, finals approaching and the fall semester coming to an end, Pitt students are in the midst of hunting for off-campus housing.

The Pitt News talked with Megan ConferHammond, executive director of The Fair Housing Partnership of Greater Pittsburgh — a nonprofit organization dedicated to enforcing fair housing rights — and a University spokesperson about navigating the housing market. Pitt’s Office of Off-Campus Living provides students with resources needed to make smart housing decisions.

Responses have been edited for length and clarity.

Q: What should students make sure they have done before they legally commit to rent-

ing? What research can/should a student do?

CH: Landlord/tenant laws are governed by the states. So make sure to read The Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951.

Pay attention to state and local legislative decision-making. For example, the city of Pittsburgh recently passed a rental registry ordinance that would require rental units to pass a health and safety inspection.

US: Before committing to renting, students should consider the type of housing they are looking for and where they want to live. Thoroughly reviewing their lease is the last and most important step.

Before signing a lease, students should read it thoroughly and make sure they understand the terms and conditions. The OCL website provides a list of steps to take before signing a lease, and students can reach out to Off-Campus Living with questions about

their specific lease.

Q: What questions should a student ask their landlord before signing a lease?

CH: If a student has a roommate, ask if each individual is jointly or individually liable to the lease. For example, if roommates are jointly liable, then if a roommate vacates the unit before the end of the lease, the remaining roommates are responsible for the entire monthly rent and for securing a new roommate.

US: Students should ask about any terms and conditions that they do not understand, and they should inquire about any building or property rules and regulations that are not listed in the lease.

Q: How soon should a student sign a lease after touring an apartment if they like it?

CH: Signing a lease makes the student obligated to the unit. Make sure to obtain the

unit’s keys at the lease signing.

US: Students should take their time to thoroughly review their lease before signing.

Q: What is the most common issue or red flag in student leases, and how do students spot them?

CH: Waiving tenant rights is an unfortunate commonality in leases such as waiving the right to a notice by the landlord prior to an eviction filing and the right to complete the lease if the unit is sold during the lease.

US: Students should check their lease for any provisions that may not be in compliance with state and local laws. An example would be a provision that forces a renter to agree to accept blame in a future dispute with the landlord. More examples of provisions to avoid are available on the OCL website. Unlawful lease provisions are something to keep in mind.

Q: What should students make sure is included in their lease?

CH: The landlord’s contact information and how to best contact the landlord.

US: Students should make sure their lease clearly states beginning and end dates, who is responsible for utilities and the amount of their monthly rental payment.

Q: What are the most important sections of a lease to review?

CH: Understand the clauses regarding repairs, responsibilities for appliance maintenance, lease renewal and early lease termination.

Q: Has anything changed with the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of norms or laws around renting and leases?

CH: Federal and local eviction moratoriums have ended, which were the biggest COVID-19-related changes to renting. Students should take pictures of the unit to document its condition before moving in and again take pictures of the unit at move out before turning over the keys. Pictures are crucial in any ensuing dispute about unit damages. Communicate with your landlord in writing to ensure clarity in case a dispute later arises.

Upperclass students advise on off- versus on-campus living

Shaylyn Chilek For The Pitt News

To dorm or not to dorm? The age-old debate of on-campus versus off-campus housing is currently waging war in the minds of the largest first-year class to ever attend Pitt.

There are 4,674 first-years, 2,422 sophomores, 741 juniors and 202 seniors living on campus this semester, with the rest assumed to be living off campus, according to a University spokesperson. When students make the decision between on- and off-campus housing, safety, cost and location all play a role.

The process of finding a place to live off campus begins early, which Julia Lombardi said is an added stress.

“It was a little bit stressful, especially because we were told that we sort of had to have everything figured out by early November,” Lombardi, a sophomore psychology major, said.

Because the hunt for an off-campus house begins so early, first-years often face the challenge of deciding who to room with.

Yasmeen Gauri, a junior psychology and religious studies double major who currently lives in South Oakland, said the process of finding off-campus housing is stressful because first-years may not actually know their friends well before signing a lease with them.

“As a freshman I barely knew my friends at that point and it's like, who do I want to live with,” Gauri said.

Isabella Kitchen, a junior environmental engineering major, said applying for on-campus housing is not stressful. She said the process does not begin until the spring semester, but includes weeks to months of waiting for an assignment.

“It starts during spring semester for the next year, but we don’t hear back about our assignments until July, so it's a lot of waiting to figure out what's going on,” Kitchen said.

Pitt guarantees students housing through their junior year, so those who want to live on campus don’t have to worry about finding a place to live.

The University’s Institutional Master Plan, a 10-year development plan which the City approved this summer, includes projects to add more than 1,000 beds in the next few years in order to accommodate the increase of class

pittnews.com

sizes, according to a University spokesperson.

Part of the plan includes a housing development on the upper campus hillside, which will add approximately 600 beds. The plan also includes redeveloping the fraternity complex on upper campus, Forbes-Craig apartments

and Bouquet Gardens, as well as changing the Litchfield Towers Plaza.

When considering whether to live off or on campus, the price of rent versus the price to live on campus also impacts students’ decisions.

The price of living off campus varies based on

location and quality of a home or apartment.

Lombardi said she doesn’t feel like she overpays for her off-campus house, but added that she shares a room in order to get the cost so low.

For on-campus housing, the cost is divided by semester rather than by month. A University spokesperson said on-campus housing costs an average of $3,782 per semester, with cheaper, dorm-style upperclass housing requiring meal plans.

The issue of safety also comes up for many students when deciding between on- and offcampus housing.

Gauri said while she does not necessarily think about safety often, she definitely isn’t completely at ease either.

“I don’t really worry about [safety] I guess, but in terms of how safe I think I actually am, I’m probably not nearly as safe as I am at home,” Gauri said.

You don’t have to live in Oakland

Jessica Snyder Staff Columnist

Pitt’s campus rests in the heart of Central Oakland, sandwiched between Forbes and Fifth avenues. Many students take up offcampus residence in the northern or southern part of the neighborhood, while the majority of on-campus students reside in Central Oakland proper.

Oakland is a fan favorite, boasting a considerable amount of bars, local cuisine and relatively affordable rent — if you can get in on the housing race on time. At most, a student living in Oakland can expect a 20-minute walk to campus. Fewer students live in North Oakland, likely given its considerable distance to the heart of campus. Shuttles and buses do go up to North Oakland, but Central Oakland serves as arguably the most convenient off-campus

neighborhood for Pitt students.

Personally, I got in on the off-campus housing race extremely late — I signed my lease for this year in January. By contrast, I just recently signed a lease for a house in Central Oakland for next year — finishing the process about three months earlier than I did last year. The Central Oakland housing race shows no mercy and if you don’t have the time, roommates or funds to participate in it, opting to live in another neighborhood in Pittsburgh just might be more realistic and not as inconvenient as one might think.

Oakland is an extremely convenient neighborhood for any Pitt student thinking about living off-campus, but there are many different neighborhoods in the City that sometimes offer more than Oakland. There are many places where a Pitt student can live and enjoy their col-

lege life — it doesn’t just stop in Oakland.

I currently pay around $700 a month to live alone in Friendship — one of the biggest luxuries I think a college student can have. My apartment building is cleaned pretty regularly and maintenance requests are usually addressed the next day. The company that I rent from, Forbes Management, offers apartments in Oakland for almost $400 more. Rent in Oakland costs more because it is the most convenient neighborhood for Pitt students, simple as that. But the tidiness of apartments outside of Oakland can be matched — or be even better — at a fraction of the cost.

University services also extend farther than most might believe. For example, Pitt offers housing on Centre Avenue in the Centre Plaza Apartments, located near UPMC Shadyside.

The 20A and 20B Pitt shuttles also serve areas

along Centre Avenue and Baum Boulevard, with trackers that can be found by downloading the Ride Systems app.

One of the most reliable public transportation systems that Pittsburgh has to offer is the Port Authority buses. Personally, I find that most off-campus students who don’t live in Oakland take the 71A or the 71C, but a significant amount of East End bus routes travel through Oakland at some point in their journey. Transit is a free app that students can download to track the arrival of buses, making this process even easier. In my experience the buses are pretty quick too — rarely have I ever waited more than 10 minutes during regular commuting hours.

Emma Kappler’s group chat with her roommates is full of cat pictures. She is the proud parent of Archie, a stray cat she found at home under her porch back in Butler. Archie now lives with Emma in her North Oakland apartment.

“Having a pet brings us so much joy, and like half of our text messages are just like pictures of him that we send back and forth,” Kappler, a junior political science and law, criminal justice, and society double major, said. “It makes you very happy because I feel like everybody that has pets when they're at school, they just think about how much they miss their pets.”

Kappler is one person in the small community of Pitt pet owners. Initially, she wasn’t

pittnews.com

even supposed to have a cat of her own in Oakland. But her parents already had another cat at home, named Rueben, and didn’t want to take on the responsibility of another one.

“My parents didn't really want to have to deal with all the responsibilities. They're over having pets at this point,” Kappler said. “So I was like, ‘Okay if we take this cat in, I’ll take him to school.’ That was the deal.”

Having a pet can be a huge undertaking, especially as a college student on a budget.

Delphie Backs, a junior applied developmental psychology major, adopted her cat Olaf, a two-year-old white short-hair, from the Beaver County Humane Society last year.

She said she is fully responsible for all of his bills — including food, toys and veterinarian costs. She budgets her paychecks specifically to

account for his needs.

“I pay for him, all by myself, all of his vet bills. So I kind of had to work him into my college budget,” Backs said. “Which is hard but it keeps me motivated to keep working. He’s just so worth the money, easily.”

Olaf is officially registered as an emotional support animal for Backs. Last year, Backs said she struggled mentally and emotionally. She talked to her therapist, who provided her with the certification to get an emotional support animal.

“I had a therapist at the time, and I asked her if she does certifications for emotional support animals. And she did, so she wrote me out a certification,” Backs said. “That allowed me to adopt a cat and keep him pretty much wherever I was living because it's protected under the Fair

November 10, 2021

Housing Act.” Backs said although the benefits far outweigh the challenges of having a pet, there are plenty of obstacles to consider specific to being a college student. For one, when Thanksgiving and winter break comes around, she has to figure out where she’s going to keep Olaf.

“Pretty much everyone I know and all my roommates are going home as well. I'm taking him home with me, so we're gonna have to drive him to my hometown, just so he doesn't get too shaken up,” Backs said. “I'm keeping him there until I come back for winter break. So he'll be living with my parents. I’m gonna miss him over those two or three weeks.”

Pitt students buy used furniture to save money Sarah Demchak Staff Writer

Students are already looking for offcampus living for the next academic year, and furniture shopping can get expensive.

Luckily, there are various options students can use to make their apartments cute on a budget.

Hannah Moore, a senior molecular biology major, said the first place to look is the basements of their parents or other family members. She said her family saved their couches over the years — despite their battered states — for the sole purpose of filling her future college apartment.

“The couches both came from my family,” Moore said. “We’ve just been collecting furniture for years. Whenever a friend was giving it away or we bought new furniture because ours was really run down, I would tell my parents to save it for me because I don’t care if it has rips if I’m in college.”

Many students may get lucky and find free furniture already in their apartments or outside on the street, according to Moore. She said she found a couple of pieces while moving into her apartment in Pittsburgh.

“Our table, we just inherited in our apartment. It was here when we moved in, and we just kept it because it’s big and nice,” Moore said. “The coffee table, we actually just found on the street when we moved in as well. So those are both used as well from other students.”

Friends and fellow students may have furniture options if their family basements are empty. Caroline Weiss’ friends gave her a desk and chair for free. Weiss, a senior environmental studies and political science double major, also utilized the Pitt Class of 2023 Facebook page to find her bed at a decent price in Pittsburgh.

“I would recommend Facebook Marketplace, and I even just use our class’ Facebook page,” Weiss said. “I saw that someone posted their bed there and was like, ‘Oh, that’s a really good price and then I won’t have to transport it across the state.’ So I just went with that and would definitely advise other students to do the same.”

Other online platforms such as OfferUp and Craigslist also sell budget-friendly furniture. These virtual programs allow

pittnews.com

people to buy and sell items to other users, like digital furniture thrifting. Buyers can set price ranges, location preferences and category options to find exactly what they are looking for.

Juin Sommer, a junior computer engineering major, has used these platforms many times to find furniture. For example, Sommer purchased a large sectional couch on Facebook Marketplace for $200. He said he recommends using online exchanges if students cannot find free furniture.

“Look for free stuff first, like friends or family that are giving away furniture,” Sommer said. “And then cheaper places like on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or OfferUp — a lot of people do it online trying to get rid of old furniture.”

Students can also try used furniture stores. Pittsburgh Furniture Company offers a plethora of used furniture options for students. Located in Lawrenceville, this store sells durable, reasonably priced midcentury modern furniture, according to Danni Lee, the company’s manager.

The company buys furniture through online auctions, local thrift stores, estate

sales and through local sellers. These purchased pieces get refinished if they are damaged by one of the store’s three employees.

Lee said they value fairness when it comes to their prices, which is possible because of the store’s constant flux of furniture. She said their prices are generally half of the top-market value with an additional 20% off. Customers can buy a coffee table for $45 or $900.

“We also just try to be reasonable because we just move furniture so quickly.

Almost every two weeks the whole store is all new,” Lee said. “We always just try to keep our prices reasonable too because we’re not trying to get rich — we’re just trying to help people honestly.”

Lee said their delivery service is also cheap and can help students easily transfer furniture into their apartments.

“It’s usually about $20 to $40. It depends how far away people are. $40 is usually South Hills, but if you’re really close, like Oakland, it’s just $20,” Lee said. “And then they put it in the room you want it in too. A lot of other delivery services, they

November 10, 2021

just leave it at the curb.”

According to Lee, about 45% of their customers are students, so they offer resale services. Students can buy a piece and sell it back to the company once they finish college. Lee said their furniture is durable, allowing for a good resale price.

“Sometimes you can even sell it online, like on Facebook Marketplace people are selling the same exact piece of furniture we have here for more. It’s insane. It’s absolutely insane,” Lee said. “Mid-century furniture holds its value really well. It’s just really good quality.”

PITT PREPARES FOR CLASH OF HIGHLY TOUTED PROSPECTS PICKETT, HOWELL

Dalton Coppola

Assistant Sports Editor Pitt soundly beat the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday, giving the Panthers a lot to be pleased with on both sides of the ball. But the amount of time they have to enjoy the win is short-lived.

The Panthers’ 24-hour rule to enjoy the win went to a 12-hour rule after their win over Duke, according to redshirt senior quarterback Kenny Pickett.

“I think it’s 12 hours this week,” Pickett said.

“We’re going to be right on to North Carolina tomorrow … I know we’ve got some guys banged up, but we’ll try to get as healthy as possible. It’s really kind of a mental preparation this week more than physical.”

Tar Heels (5-4, 3-3 ACC) to Heinz Field this Thursday for another ACC battle. The two teams are both coming off of wins, but have quick turnarounds for the game on Thursday. Pitt wasted no time getting back to work and started preparing Sunday, according to head coach Pat Narduzzi.

The Tar Heels came into the season with hopes of a trip to the College Football Playoff and opened up as No. 10 in the country. Junior quarterback Sam Howell came into the season widely regarded as one of the highest-rated NFL prospects. It’s been a fall from grace for the Tar Heels and Howell as they plummeted out of the Top-25, and Howell is far from a lock to hear his name called in the first-round.

On the opposite side, Pickett and the Pan-

Quarterback Sam Howell, pictured, and the UNC Tar Heels will come to Heinz Field to take on the Panthers on Thursday evening.

AP Photo/Gerry Broome thers have exceeded expectations, climbing as high as No. 17 in the country. Although they’ve stumbled a few times this season, the Panthers still “control their own destiny” to an ACC Championship, as Narduzzi said last week. But as always, Narduzzi’s goal is just to go 1-0 this week.

Here’s what to look for in Pitt’s next obstacle in booking a trip to the ACC Championship Game.

Clash of two top NFL prospects It’s rare for fans to get a glimpse at two potential first round NFL draft picks in one game — let alone two quarterbacks. College football fans will have the opportunity to do just that Thursday.

Howell and Pickett will meet up on national television, with not just the entire nation watching, but also NFL scouts. Narduzzi said he’s heard that there will be 36 NFL scouts at the game. He said the ability to see these players live allows scouts to see their character — something the cameras don’t always pick up.

“I think it's interesting for some of those guys to come to games and watch, just see it live,” Narduzzi said. “When the camera turns away, you

November 10, 2021

don't see all the in-between stuff. You don't see how he's acting on the sidelines. Scouts are looking… Who is he not only as a football player but as a person.”

Howell is versatile — just as good, if not better, at running the football than he is throwing.

This is something that Narduzzi is aware of and is making sure his defense is ready for whatever UNC throws at them.

“He's been great for two years,” Narduzzi said.

“He runs like a tailback. I mean, he is scrambling.

What you didn't see the last two years is his ability not only to scramble, but now they've got designated quarterback runs, okay? We prepared real hard for all their draws.”

The spotlight will be on the quarterbacks on Thursday. With NFL scouts in attendance, Howell and Pickett have the opportunity to prove that the hype that comes with their names is warranted.

Pitt’s run defense needs to be fine tuned Slow defensive starts have been an area of concern for the past month or so for the PanSee UNC on page 9

8

UNC, pg. 8 thers. Against most teams, Pickett and the offense have compensated for the slow starts with explosive plays. But Pitt may not be as lucky against UNC. UNC boasts the ACC’s No. 3 offense and is going to be able to hang around with Pickett and his offense. If UNC jumps out to a quick lead, Pitt could be in trouble.

It starts with stopping the running game.

The Blue Devils gashed the Panthers with zone runs the entire first quarter, exposing tackling issues and a lack of a push up front. Duke did have graduate transfer Carson Van Lynn, a former Panther, on its offensive line. Narduzzi said he thought Van Lynn was able to sniff out what kind of pressure was coming based on the way the Panther defense was lined up.

Whether or not this is true, Pitt needs to prevent these explosive run plays and avoid a slow start. If Pitt allows Howell to jump out to a sizable lead early, the Panthers may not be able to climb back like they have in the past.

Short turnaround from one game to the next The Panthers have a quick turnaround this week, losing two days of rest and preparation with the game landing on a Thursday. Pitt has been relatively healthy this year, but the last few weeks have been a different story as the injuries started to pile up.

Receivers sophomore Jaylon Barden and senior Taysir Mack already missed last week’s game after going down with injuries against Miami.

Initially, it didn’t seem like there was too much cause for concern. But Narduzzi described their chances to return before the end of the season as a “possibility” last week.

The Panthers racked up a couple more injuries at Duke this weekend. Most notably, redshirt senior defensive tackle Keyshon Camp, who left the game early with a leg injury and returned to the sidelines with crutches and in a boot.

Redshirt seniors offensive linemen Owen Drexel and Gabe Houy also spent time with the training staff to tend to some typical stingers during the game. Even if the injuries don’t keep these players out of the game Thursday, the short turnaround undoubtedly puts them at extra risk — something Narduzzi took exception to.

“You always get concerned,” Narduzzi said.

“There’s bumps and bruises and the NCAA continues to like these Thursday night games and it’s not good for the health of our kids, period.”

Narduzzi expressed frustration with the game scheduled on a Thursday, as it gave himself and the rest of the program little time to regroup.

pittnews.com

“The thing people don't realize, they think we just go out and play football, put the ball out there, spot it, let's go,” Narduzzi said. “Sunday we had to close the book on Duke, make the corrections on special teams, defense, offense. Then we had to flip it around and as coaches, you weren't spending time on North Carolina before you could. You had to focus on Duke.”

Narduzzi said he will have his guys ready even on the short turnaround.

Prediction | UNC’s lack of firepower on offense will give Pitt the edge, Panthers win 45-31 Howell had offensive weapons galore last year, leading to his success and preseason hype.

But it’s been abundantly clear Howell has severely missed his running back tandem of Javonte Williams and Michael Carter — both now NFL players. The Tar Heels also lost one of their top receivers in Dyami Brown when the Washington Football Team selected him in the NFL Draft.

The Tar Heels have made the necessary adjustments to compensate for these absences over the course of the season. UNC is also coming off of an upset victory against the then No. 9 and undefeated Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

Sophomore wide receiver Josh Downs and graduate student running back Ty Chandler have also stepped into bigger roles this year for

the Tar Heels.

Thursday’s game has the makings of an offensive shootout written all over it, with two quarterbacks in need of big games to bolster their draft stock against defenses that have been less than inspiring as of late. Whoever comes out on top of this one will come down to who can win the shootout.

Pickett has the weapons — he has the homefield on his side and he’s a more polished player than Howell. Pitt has already faltered down the stretch and there’s no room left for error — don’t expect Pickett to let his team stumble again.

The game will kickoff on Thursday night at Heinz Field at 7:30 p.m. and air on ESPN.
