Rights & Responsibilities

Knowing your rights as a tenant in and around the city of Boston is key to successful off-campus living. Check out Boston’s Office of Housing Stability website for more information regarding your rights as well as receiving FREE mediation involving housing-related disputes. Also, don't forget to stay up-to-date about Massachusetts laws from both a Landlord and Tenant perspective.

While off-campus and commuter students do not live on-campus, they are still a part of the Emerson community. As an off-campus Emerson student living in the city of Boston, you are sharing your environment with a number of other stakeholders. The College expects that you will be a positive representation of the institution based on the choices and actions that you make in your living space. The Off-Campus Conduct Policy can be found on Campus Policies and Procedures webpage.
