AcknowledgementsThe following has been provided by the Selinsgrove Borough Council and Susquehanna University’s Department of Residence Life & Volunteer Programs. Written especially for Susquehanna University students who are considering the option of applying to live off campus and for those who have already been granted permission, we hope you will find it helpful and informative. Recognizing the partnership between the Borough and the University, it is important for you to understand the rights and responsibilities that fall under being a constituent of both. We hope you will take the opportunity to use the information provided to ensure that your rights as a tenant are being honored and the rights of yourself and others as citizens are being upheld. Originally published in July 1988, the following publications were used as a model for this information: Bucknell University’s booklet "So You Wanna Live Off Campus" and the pamphlet "Everything I should Have Known About Renting But Was Afraid to Ask" from Penn State University and the Centre Region Council of Governments, State College, PA. Some of the updated information provided has been taken directly from the Borough of Selinsgrove’s Property Maintenance Code and Rental Unit Occupancy Regulations. Special thanks to John Bickhart, Selinsgrove Borough Manager. As we continue our relationship, we hope you will join in our commitment to providing a safe community for the benefit of Selinsgrove Borough and Susquehanna University. Philip E. Winger Dear S.U.
