Should I take over another student’s lease near Stanford University or sign a new lease directly with the property?
DIRECT ANSWER
Use the current Stanford housing/off-campus source as the school-policy anchor, then verify the exact address, unit, lease dates and party you are paying. Do not let a generic “student housing” label substitute for the actual contract and unit.
