Hello all,
After months of trying to find a subleaser for my apartment, I finally found a prospective buyer for it. While filling out paperwork, the apartment management then told me that the new leasers will HAVE to be a university student, but state that they are not affiliated with the university. They also require the leasers to provide student ID, and their GPA.
They have no written permission from the University stating that this is okay, but could potentially cut into their income from their dorms.
I could see if they cater to university students, but wouldn’t they have to also take other leasers as well to avoid a lawsuit?
Are they legally allowed to do this, and should I inform the university about what they are doing?
So, can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Can My Apartment Legally Do This?

As far as I am aware, no since they are not affiliated with the university, but try asking the business office on campus and see what they say. They might have seen something like this before.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Always Student Housing is limited to registered students. This is NOT illegal.
See what your lease says about subleasing. If it says that the person you are subleasing to must be approved by management, then you must follow that, and they have the right to reject people they don’t approve of.
The university has nothing to do with this. They don’t need the university’s permission to check someone’s student ID or GPA.
