Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is the landlord of several apartments located in Beaver Plaza, 222 W. Beaver Ave., State College, Penn., a finding that surprised many of the tenants, including Kane.

According to Santorum’s public financial disclosure form, he makes an income of $15,001 to $50,000 per apartment annually on rent and royalties from the residences.

Santorum is the landlord of five apartments in Beaver Plaza — 304, 306, 603, 604 and 610 — that have a net worth of $100,001 to $250,000 each.

Tenants of apartment 603 said they had no clue that Santorum, a Penn State alumnus and former Pennsylvania senator, was their landlord until recently.

PSU sophomores Lucy Barnhart and Kane had no idea who Santorum was — let alone that he was their landlord.

Another tenant of 603, sophomore Emma Martin knew who Santorum was but not that he was her landlord.

“I didn’t think that someone running for president would be the landlord of this small apartment in State College,” Martin said.

Martin’s opinion of Santorum has not changed since she learned that he was her landlord, as he is removed from day-to-day living in the complex, she said.

Associated Realty Property Management is the property manager of Beaver Plaza.

ARPM Property Manager Mark Bigatel said Santorum is one of the better owners and “always” updates the apartments.

“He takes such good care, because he is a real proud Penn State alumni,” Bigatel said.

Despite the initial surprise to find out who owned their residence — which Kane and her roommate are not living in next year — the idea that someone in the running to be Commander in Chief is their landlord does carry some novelty for them.

“That is definitely cool,” she said.
