It’s encouraging to hear the the Charleston City Council will once again look at a growing problem in this town. At some point, there is a potential that every Eastern student will look for a home outside of the campus area. What most students will find is that the quality of housing available to them is below par. It’s sad to think that any landlord would allow a piece of property — with their name on it — to sink to such unsafe conditions. It is time for the City Council to look into the problem and find a solution that will be beneficial to all parties involved. Charleston is unique in the sense that every other city which has a state university has a rental inspection program already implement- ed. A rental inspection program is a good idea for a university community because it assures students that quality housing will be available to them. Nearly every day, a horror story can be heard about bats flying around apartments, moldy carpeting that sprouts mushrooms and poor building construction.
