SUBTENANTS who wish to sign a lease as a tenant in September must wait until the application for NEW tenants opens in May.
Assignments & Sublets. Tenants who will be looking to assign/sublet their unit are reminded that these must be approved in advance by Community Housing. Procedures and forms related to these requests can be found online at the Community Housing website. Please remember that only those students who have signed Assignment Agreements and are occupying units by March 1, 2012 are eligible to re-apply for a new September lease. All others will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, Assignees who are offered new leases will be moved to the Market Rent for their unit.
