I went to school in Cleveland at Ohio technical college and they do there housing through a company called collegiate housing. Well this company made you sign a lease with some very strange clauses in it and to be blunt, were just extremely money hungry. They made you waive your rights to 24hour notification for inspection and they would literally walk in your apartment whenever they felt like it. ( they provide all the students with 3 roommates and claim it's a health inspection) they abused that right every chance they could and were very harassing with it. One multiple occasions I've asked the person who came in 6 or more times to please leave and his response was, I have your Keys and you waived your right I can come in when I want. They also wouldn't let you change the locks on a 2 bedroom apartment that they stuck 4 random people in. So after dealing with a lot of that type of stuff I was wanting to move out. Except the lease also states that I would have to forfeit my $500 security deposit as well as 2 months rent. ($450 a month, also strange they charge me an extra $50 for not having a guarantor) Well being in college I could not afford that so I stuck it out. So after I got all done with school and finally got to move out they hit me with $700 in charges as well as everybody else in the apartment. The way they work is tgat they pro-rate damages and instead of splitting a cost like $20 for a bag of trash between all of the roommates, they instead charge each of the roommates 20. So $80 dollars for a single bag of trash. That means our apartment would have suffered $2800 in damage between all of us which is just absurd. We cleaned the place out and really it could have just used some paint on a couple walls and there was a stain in the living room carpet. But now I'm going through constant arguments with CHS about how completely unfair they were with is and all of the students and there really just about their money. They will not budge from anything no matter how many clauses you show them in the lease that Ohio deems illegal which if I knew from the beginning I would have moved out then
