Hundreds of Iowa State University students will be without a home until Mid-August thanks to delayed move in dates, as rental property managers prepare units for new tenants, reports the Iowa State Daily.

Most leases in town expire July 31 and landlords aren't allowing new tenants to move in until they can make repairs, according to the article.

“I have to move-out of my apartment on Welch Avenue by [July 24] and I move in to my new apartment on August 1,” said Sandy Rani, a senior in biology at Iowa State, who will be homeless for nine days in July.

Students are struggling to find storage space for their furniture and hope to crash on friends' couches.

Perhaps that's why so much furniture is left on Ames curbs?
