As local police departments try to keep private parties under control Friday, some campus landlords have given their tenants guidelines for celebrating Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day safely and legally on their properties.

According to representatives from Roland Realty and Campus Property Management, or CPM, landlords have been in correspondence with local police departments to discuss apartment and house parties on Unofficial.

Taking advice from local law enforcement, these companies will impose their own rules.

Ray Beer, tenant relations manager for Roland Realty, said the company has posted flyers around their properties’ common areas and has sent an e-mail to its tenants that “really hits on (the tenants) being responsible for their guests.”

“We tell them to only invite people who they know, trust and are 21,” Beer said. “If the tenant is 21 and controlling their apartment well, so it does not become chaotic, I think it will go smoothly.”

He said the company has asked its resident manager program members, who are tenants that Roland Realty asks to help look after its properties, to be aware of any parties they see that could get out of hand.

“They will be looking to tell people hanging out around their doors and wandering around the common area to keep it in their apartments and keep it safe,” he said.

CPM Director of Public Relations Michael Jay said he noticed the local police departments taking the event more seriously with landlord companies than in previous years.

He said CPM representatives attended a meeting with the Champaign Police and Fire departments, where it was suggested that landlords give their tenants a letter asking for responsible participation in the event.

CPM representatives will also be checking their own buildings at random times throughout the day, according to a flyer posted on CPM apartment doors on Wednesday.

According to the flyer, the representatives will report any illegal activity to the police, and tenants should avoid activities that could cause injury or harm to their academic careers.

The flyer also stated that all CPM leases prohibit beer kegs on their property at all times, whether in their tenants’ apartments or outside in the common area. If a keg is found, the tenant will be fined $150 by the company for every day it is there, according to the flyer.

Beer said Roland Realty has advised its resident managers to keep a close eye on properties that have balconies because people may be more likely to throw items from them.

Sarah Cordon, CPM resident and senior in ACES, said the warnings from landlords and authorities could reduce the day’s overall rowdiness and prevent people from throwing things from their apartments.

However, she said most people will still throw parties on their own terms.

“Kegs are still going to happen, for sure,” she said.

According to the “Official Public Safety Page on Unofficial,” a Facebook group created by local police departments, individuals caught throwing dangerous materials will be fined $165 in Urbana and $215 in Champaign.
