B8 Chester County THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER Thursday, November 20, 1997 W. Chester to vote on tenant evictions Santa Deer said he also endorsed a proposed form that tenants would have to sign. It would list some borough rules, including policies involving parking, snow removal and trash pickups. "I think it's a good thing for tenants to know who's responsible for the ice, the trash, whatever," he said. Some landlords say they still oppose Carroll's suggestion because of the suggested form, claiming it is a privacy invasion.

They also dispute borough officials' claims that it would cost about $5,000 for employees to handle the additional work of filing the forms. One of their primary objections, however, has been that the ordinance would make them unfairly responsible for their tenants' behavior. "It's putting me in a position as a landlord where I have to don the police badge and punish my tenants for criminal behavior," said Grant Nelson, cochairman of the West Chester Apartment Association. "How can I be held accountable for the criminal acts of my tenants?" EVICTIONS from B1 students who opposed the idea. But many were satisfied with the proposal after it was modified.

About 25 people attended yesterday's meeting. The modifications include removing provisions that would have forced landlords to immediately evict individuals with two convictions in a 12-month span, or all roommates if they had three convictions in a 24-month period. Some council members suggested postponing the hearing until 1998, because they had not reviewed recent changes and to avoid meeting during WCU's finals week. The Dec. 8 date was selected by a 4-3 vote.

Carroll and some WCU students said the original proposal needed to be altered because it was unfair to innocent roommates. They also said it would have been too expensive for landlords and renters to replace evicted tenants after a semester started. "This proposal will improve the quality of life," said Zach Cattell, 19, a WCU sophomore who initially opposed the idea. Cattell, the student government's Borough Council representative, Come visit the man who's near and dear to all of our hearts. Santa's back November 22 and he'll be ready for photos.
