Who pays relet, lease-transfer, screening, and administration fees when a Boston College student takes over another lease?
DIRECT ANSWER
Start with the signed lease and current MA tenant rules. Keep payments, condition evidence, notices and approvals in writing, and use Boston College or local legal/tenant resources for a dispute instead of relying on a forum anecdote. CH2 has not found a current public market-local Boston College student housing demand signal for this exact wording in the reviewed signal set, so it does not manufacture local popularity. The question remains published because it is a recurring 2025–26 student housing decision and Boston College has a current school-specific source to anchor the answer.
- the signed lease and applicable state/local tenant rules
- written property approval for transfers, relets or subleases
- dated records of condition, payments, notices and communications
