Renting to Students
Renting to college students may present some challenging situations for landlords. They may be new to independent living, get up late and stay up late, and they may not define loud noise in the same way as their neighbors do. Also, be aware that it is a violation of the Boston Zoning Code for five or more full-time undergraduate college students to share an apartment in Boston.
UMass Boston values its relationship with the Boston area community. If you have a concern about the behavior of our students or an issue occurring in the community, please email the Office of Student Housing at osh@umb.edu.
The following resources are useful tools to help manage student rentals and ensure that you uphold your obligations as a property owner:
