The City of Oxford recently passed a new ordinance saying no more than three unrelated people can live together. This new rule has had a major impact on students living off campus. Some students have been told by their landlords that they have to move out by Christmas break. Other students have been trying to fight the new rule. Some students have talked to their landlord and have said they would pay the fine.

This new ordinance has inconvenienced many students. Not only are they being evicted half way through the school year, but they are having to find another place to live, minus a few of their roommates. Students are having a hard time finding another place to live that they can afford. Senior Ole Miss student, Tori Sawyer said, " My biggest problem with the new housing rule is that it leaves students homeless." She also said, " It is really weird having random people take pictures of our house everyday." Students hope the city will realize this rule is causing more harm than good. They hope Oxford will take a second look at the law and revise it.
