Collegiate Communities

Purdue Parents and Students Beware! My son and his roommates rented a 4 bedroom apartment from Collegiate Communities. One of the boys was not able to stay at Purdue. The management company showed the spare room and rented it out within three hours of notification.
Without input from our son or the other tenants, they rented the room to a 35 year old man! Yes, that is not a typo. A 35 year old man moved in to the apartment with three 19 year old male students and they will do nothing about it.
Before we knew about his age, I asked how they place new tenants in open rooms and the property manager assured me they look at profiles to see if they are a good match before showing the property. They determined a 35 year old non-​Purdue student was a good fit to room with with students that are 19 years old.
After voicing our concerns, the property manager claimed that Fair Housing Laws dictate they lease to «anyone who qualifies». This is a complete distortion of the truth.
Fair Housing laws do protect defined classes against discrimination. The protected classes include race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicap. Indiana law has protections for the same classes. Age is not a protected class!
Using their logic, they could rent an open room to a 35 year old man even if the other tenants were 19 year old females. You may want to keep that in mind before you rent from this company.

I have lived at collegiate communities for the past two years and my roommates lived here for three. The location is just close enough to campus to walk just about anywhere in 15 minutes and only a couple blocks from the bars. The apartment we live in has 4 bedrooms, a main living room, and two bathrooms. Enough of the boring stuff though. I love this apartment because I can get out on the balcony and watch the garden across the street grow. I can lay out in my hammock and watch the bell tower tick in the distance. We put in a full bar and have always had a great time at this prime location. The neighbors are friendly and the perks are incredible. Because collegiate communities owns the location we have full access to a 24-​hr gym two tanning beds and one of the coolest lounges on campus. There’s a pool table, any gaming system you could think of and free coffee. I would highly recommend taking a tour of the place.
