As part of your Housing Contract, you and everyone living in your apartment are required to complete a Living Space Agreement (LSA) facilitated by your assigned Resident Assistant. LSAs are completed during a meeting with your RA when everyone moves in at the beginning of the Fall quarter or when a new person moves into your space.

A LSA's purpose is to facilitate harmonious living between all members of each living space. Living together in a shared space requires clear, direct conversations to set you and your roommates up for success. We hope this conversation is the beginning of many positive and productive discussions with your peers.

Living space agreements can be adjusted as you get to know each other's habits and preferences. Feel free to reach out to your RA/HA to amend it at any time during the academic year. Please note that agreements are facility-specific and designed to facilitate discussion and compromise around issues of individual preference. Stipulations in the Living Space Agreement supplement the Residential Life Community Standards. In any conflict between the terms of an Agreement and the Community Standards, the Community Standards will prevail, please see the UC San Diego Residential Community Standards for the most up to date information.

As the LSA is designed to be an agreement between everyone in a living space, it is important to follow the agreement and make updates as needed. If you feel that someone in your living space is now following the agreement, please reach out to your RA so that a mediation may be had. Violations of the LSA may result in a conduct report.
