Georgetown University Student Association Established in 1989
The Georgetown Student Tenant Association (GSTA) is a new effort, spearheaded by GUSA, to help protect the rights of student tenants off campus. All DC tenants, regardless of age, are entitled to safe and clean housing. In the past, there have instances where landlords have abused the rights of students through devising improper leases, failing to obtain city licenses, and renting houses in poor condition.

GSTA is an organization that partners with the DC Office of the Tenant Advocate. We offer several services: education, lease review, and direct advocacy. Our direct advocacy services allow us to file complaints on behalf of students who are experiencing problems with their landlord. All client information is strictly confidential.

We operate on a case by case basis; students have an opportunity to meet with a tenant advocate in the GUSA office on campus. Click to schedule your appointment today. All services are free and all advocates are current Georgetown undergraduates.
Please contact us if you have any questions about locating a rental, landlord certification requirements, or issues with your landlord in general. We look forward to hearing from you.
