PAGE 11-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1971 The Law Serves You Lease Is The Rule Book For Landlord And Tenant - Apartment and house hunting is one of the most popular weekend activities during ihis time of year. The Illinois State Bar association suggests you familiarize yourself with the numerous legal details to consider before renting your new home or apartment. For those who rent, the lease is the rule book for the landlord- tenant relationship. It outlines your rights and obligations as tenants and those of your landlord. When you decide you want the dwelling, do not sign the lease right away. Tell the landlord you want to review it before signing. - Most regular form leases are written with the interests of the landlord in mind and you should read and reread it, making notes about things you may not understand. Your next step should be to have your attorney examine it for you. He will explain all the clause and tell you what your obligations are. Also, he will suggest a clause which would make the building management responsible for the maintenance of any major built-in appliances, thus saving you money in repairs. If you are elderly, he might insert a death clause which provides for the lease's automatic cancellation within a certain number of days after your death. He might suggest a clause allowing you to sublease the residence should you have to move because of an unforeseen situation. Your lawyer might suggest you sign a longer or shorter term lease. A three or five year lease may insure you against rising rental costs and housing shortages, but he may advise you that a shorter term lease would be best for your particular situation. While talking with your at torney, ask him to explain how you or the landlord might be able to break the legse. Also, ask him what hapffens if the landlord were to sell the building to someone else. If you and the landlord previously agreed orally on any decorating or repairs, see to it that these are included. After meeting with your lawyer, contact the landlord and ask him if your changes can be incorporated into the lease. Only sign the lease when you completely understand its provisions. This is a legal contract and cannot be broken, without a penalty, unless the specific situation is provided for in the lease or the law itself. The law says that even if no lease exists, a landlord must give his tenants notice before, requiring them to vacate the premises. The tenant is legally entitled to this notice in writing. Conversely, the tenant without a lease who wants to move, must give the saipe type of notice to the landlord. Your landlord most likely will require a security deposit. As a general rule, it is one or more month's rent. This will be held as security against any damages which might need repairing when you vacate the building. Under the present law, you will receive no interest on this money. Your deposit receipt or the lease should state when and under what con ditions the deposit will be returned and what rights the landlord has to keep all, or any part of it According to the Illinois State Bar association, if you familiarize yourself with the lease before signing, your landlord-tenant relationship will be a much happier one. From The Farm PESTICIDES Homeowners should store pesticides out of the reach of small children. Read and heed the instructions and precautions on the label. ANTS IN HOMES To control ants already inside the home, use 0.5 percent diazinon or 0.5 percent Baygon in pressurized spray cans. Spray into all cracks, around baseboards, and other areas where the ants are observed. NUTSEDGE CONTROL Nutsedge-or nutgrass~is a problem in many Illinois com and soybean fields. But control is "cnerally easier in soybeans than in corn. University of Illinois Ex tension Agronomist Marshal McGlamery says that nutsedge is a perennial weed that reproduces primarily from underground nutlets. In Illinois these nutlets sprout about the same time that corn is planted. When nutsedge sprouts, it forms a crown about IV2 inches below the soil surface. New shoots and rhizomes arise from this crown until late summer, when they begin to turn downward and form new nutlets -the source of new plants the following year. McGlamery suggests Sutan, Aatrex, and Lasso to reduce nutsedge problems in corn and Lasso and Vernam for nutsedge in soybeans. All of the herbicides-except for a split application of postemergence Aatrex-should be applied preplant and in corporated to get the material down around the crown area of the nutsedge plant. Lasso causes less soybean injury than Vernam. A good control program for corn is two quarts-three pounds active ingredient-of Sutan and -IV2 to 2 pounds of AAtrex 80W per acre. Eptam is more active on nutsedge than Sutan, but corn injury may also be more serious. 60 PERCENT LAND AREA PRIVATE More than 60 percent of the land area of the United States is privately owned. It is operated by 3 million farmers and ranchers who, under a democratic form of govern ment, may do largely as they please with their land. 0 SOIL CONSERVATION Measures taken to eliminate soil erosion not only restore vitality and health to the en vironment but also create landscape patterns that are pleasing to the eye. On far mland, beauty and bounty go hand in hand. An eroding ditch bank is an eyesore. Planted to grass and flowering shrubs that control the loss of soil, it can change to a beauty spot. A clear, cool pond, surrounded by grassed slopes replaces an ugly raw gully and becomes a haven for birds and small animals as well. And anyone flying across our country can see clearly the sweeping pic turesque curves of alternating strips of grass and cultivated crops on once barren fields. The forms, patterns, color, and textures of stripcropping and the other hallmarks of con servation contribute to the beauty of the landscape. CUT PROTEIN AND YOU CUT QUALITY If you don't feed your hogs enough protein supplement, cost of gain may be higher than it should be. and a recent study points out that carcasses will be poorer. Pigs that received 4 percent less protein than they needed had almost one-tenth inch more backfat, one square-inch smaller loin eyes and 2.65 percent less lean cuts in their carcasses than hogs on adequate rations. Producing a better product is one way to help pork con sumption. But feeding inadequate rations won't do it. DELAY GRAZING The temptation to turn dairy cows out on pasture as soon as it gets green is hard to resist, especially if you are short of hay and silage. But both ex perience and experiments have often demonstrated that it's best to delay grazing until forage crops are about six inches high. You can expect a greater production of forages all summer when you follow this practice in the spring. BIG PIGS SURVIVE BETTER A recent study found that pigs weighing more than 2Vi pounds at birth have better than a five out of six chance of living to weaning if good' management is followed." Pigs! weighing less than 2 pounds at birth have only about a 50-50 chance of living to weaning. The study also found that the number of pigs weaned per litter increased as litter size increased-up to 15 pigs born. This illustrates the importance of doing everything possible in the way of nutrition, disease control and management to get large litters at birth. "-[the uowg jump p.£COet> FOf?
