USG Renting Guide 2006 - Landis Properties
[Pages:10]Realtor Evaluations
The data in the following report are intended to provide useful information about how current OSU students living in rental properties perceive the level of service they receive from their rental company. Survey participants were asked to complete eight online questions relevant to their experience with their respective rental company during the current year. Renters living in properties operated by more than 100 different rental companies responded. All companies receiving feedback from five or more respondents are identified in this report; 1,240 responses were included and summary information is provided for 36 different rental companies.
The organization of the data is similar to how previous editions of the Renters Guide to provide an easy presentation and understandable comparison between rental companies. The results for each of the ten questions are presented one at a time, with the companies listed in alphabetical order and scores are presented in graphical format.
We hope that this guide will continue to be a useful tool in helping you decide from whom to rent. However, it is important to gather as much information as possible before making your rental decision. A great resource for such information is the OffCampus Community Services Office, located in the Ohio Union. For additional help in finding housing, moving in, living offcampus, and moving out, go to . We wish you good luck in your renting process.
Methodology
Students received an email invitation to participate in this survey. The email addresses were obtained from the University Registrar's Office of The Ohio State University, and sent to 26,916 registered undergraduate students not currently residing in university housing. The email directed students to an online survey hosted by the Undergraduate Student Government. A total of 1,240 students completed the survey. The results were compiled by rental company and the results of each question were tabulated. The average score of each of the eight questions was obtained by assigning a value to each response, and then calculating the mean of those values. Scoring for individual questions was as follows: Maintenance concerns were graded on a descending point scale from 5 to 1. Answers fit within a range of 5 points for "A Few Days;" 3 points for "1 to 2 Weeks;" and 1 point for "2 to 4 Weeks." Questions on cleanliness, initial repairs, rental costs, safety confidence, and parking availability were graded on a final point scale where 5 points were awarded for the best ratings and 1 point awarded for the lowest ratings. For the computation of the Overall Score, all "Yes" and "No" questions were given 5 points for a "Yes" answer and 1 point for a "No" answer in order to be comparable to other scale values, for individual yes/no items the percent of respondents indicating "yes" is reported. Questions left unanswered or those answered with "Not Applicable" or "Not Sure" were not included in the overall score computation. Overall scores for the rental companies were determined by averaging the individual scores of each of the eight questions. The number of responses obtained for each of the published companies ranges from 5 to 107. Those realtors receiving less than 5 survey responses were not included in the analysis. It is important to note that a score received by a company that is higher than a score received by some other company is not necessarily statistically or significantly different.
