Does graduating, transferring, withdrawing, or changing enrollment automatically let a student break a private lease near California State University, Monterey Bay?

Do not assume an academic change cancels a private housing contract. Read the signed termination, relet and sublet clauses and get any release in writing from the party legally able to approve it.

CH2 has not found a current public market-local CSUMB 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 CSUMB has a current school-specific source to anchor the answer. CH2 also has an existing verified CSUMB housing fact relevant to this decision: Are first-year students required to live on campus? — CSUMB states that first-year and sophomore students whose home is outside Monterey, Santa Cruz or San Benito counties are required to live in university housing. A first-year student seeking cancellation must use the Live-On Requirement Exception Request process.

For California State University, Monterey Bay, the current university/off-campus source listed below is the school-specific anchor. Property terms, prices, transit schedules, legal rules and availability can change, so CH2 does not copy another college’s answer into CSUMB. Verify the exact property, date and current local rule before committing.
