University of Virginia Library

Dear Sir:

To those students who will be
checking out apartments for rent
for the upcoming year, I would like
to relate last year's experience in
hopes that other people will be
reminded of certain pitfalls.

Last year, my wife and I rented
an apartment from Mr. Aubrey
Strode, Jr. of University Property
Management. We ran into several
service and maintenance difficulties
during the year. For example, Mr.
Strode did not feel we should have
heat until November. Four times
during the winter months the heat
went completely off. Consistent
with his excellent service. Mr.
Strode was more than three months
late in returning partial payment of
our security deposit. This, despite-several
letters and phone calls, to
bring this problem to his attention.
