Students, Landlords Navigate Chaos Of Moving Day

MADISON, Wis. — Students and landlords were busy Tuesday as they dealt with the chaos of moving day in downtown Madison.

Most downtown leases ended at noon on Tuesday, leaving thousands without a home until noon on Wednesday, when the new leases begin.

Some students on Tuesday were playing a waiting game for moving trucks.

“It’s more of a praying game. We really can’t have rain with mattresses and stuff out and electronics and stuff,” said Jon Oelke, a University of Wisconsin-Madison student.
