California State University, Monterey Bay: Can we sign an off-campus lease while keeping the dorm as a backup?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes, signing an off-campus lease while the CSUMB license remains active can leave the student responsible for both.

A private lease does not terminate the CSUMB Housing and Dining License Agreement. Until CSUMB approves cancellation in writing, the university housing terms and charges remain in effect.
