Not Legal Advice

Off-Campus Community Living is a resource for students that provides general information about landlord-tenant relationships. OCCL does not provide legal advice. We strive to make sure the information we provide is accurate and useful; however, if you want legal advice, we recommend that you consult with a lawyer.
