Did You Know?

Summer Sublets

The Off Campus Student Services Office is available to assist you if will not be in Boston this summer or need a place to stay before your new lease begins.  They have information about what you need to know about subletting.  Tips include:

Subletting your room while you're away:

1. Check your lease: Does your lease allow you to sublet?  Read the addendum too. Some landlords require a fee or prohibit subletting.

2. Talk to your roommates: Tell them early that you will be leaving and subletting your room, especially if your room is shared. Things will go smoother if there are no surprises!

3. Create a profile to list your room: The Office Campus Student Services' Housing Database is a great tool to post your available room!

Looking for a place to sublet?

1. Figure out what you need: Do you have a preference for location, price or number of roommates?

2. Create a profile to find a room: The Housing Database is a great tool to look for an open room.

3. Ask around: You would be surprised how effective word of mouth can be! A friend may be looking to sublet their room.
