(cont)  Therefore, even if an owner/manager could "no cause" a tenant (and, remember leases can't be terminated in this fashion), vacating a unit in "mid-year" would likely result in a prolonged vacancy and loss of revenue.  I would suggest that "no cause" terminations are less applicable to student housing than to any other rental/lease market sector.  Ms A.L. can't possibly be ignorant of these conditions...can she?  IMO, Ms A.L.'s tales of woe are, at best, not representative of the real world, and, at the worst, manufactured.  

It's far more likely that the real goal is "rent-control"....the creation of an artificial market for rental/lease properties.  That's a very different issue and should be addressed in an open, honest fashion.  Gary Crum
