Be a Good Neighbor Congrats on moving off campus! Now you are living next door to families who have invested their lives into the neighborhood. Be a good neighbor by keeping your property clean from litter and debris, and partying indoors so you don’t wake up others. Your landlord is responsible for keeping your house livable and safe. Contact 311 to report problems with your property or landlord.
