As mentioned in the general rental market news this is a mixed bag. The student rental market is very slow right now. Just a week away from classes starting in the Fall and there is a lot of availability. Lots of properties on the market and the students are learning that in this market they can wait until the last minute and get some great reductions in rents. That and they are learning that moving just off the Hill (sometimes still in walking distance) can reduce rents significantly.
There is a group of citizens, businesses, CU and City representatives that are meeting to try and find ways to help educate the residents about binge drinking. This is becoming more of a problem and there are multiple groups working to educate those offenders. This will be an on-going problem.
The City has instituted a new page on their website they refer to as Skip-a-trip. This allows anyone to file a complaint with Environmental Enforcement on-line.
