Why Landlords Should Rent To College Students

This summer has been one of the craziest ones for me. I have been in-between houses the whole time and just when I thought I would have a place, something goes wrong. I don't know if this is a blessing in disguise, but one thing I am certain of is that I'm tired of people not renting out to college students without at least meeting them first. Here is a list of reasons why landlords should rent out to college students.

1. We actually are responsible.

We're in college. We've made it this far and this isn't my first apartment, so what is the problem? Most of us will literally only be there to sleep.

2. We have other things to worry about.

Making me stress about where I am living is taking away from me focusing on my studies.

3. Most of us have jobs.

I feel like in this day and age, most college students have jobs because they have to pay for themselves and don't have a choice. So, we do have money and when we don't have money, it's probably because we spent it all on rent.

4. Our parents are still in the picture.

Just because we don't live at home, doesn't mean our parents aren't in the picture. I can assure you that 90 percent of college students can get their parents to sign a guarantee, so please rent to us.

5. We are one of your biggest markets.

College students are always in need of a place to live and we will literally live anywhere because we are that desperate. Run down house filled with spiders for $400 a month? Sold.

So, please kind landlords of the world, rent to us college students. We need your help and you need our business! There's nothing better than that.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
