I live in Canada and have 2 options: stay where I am or move to an apartment closer to university—this would GREATLY shorten my bus travel time. But the apartment requires signing a letter agreeing to their terms, rules, and bylaws. These might go against the Deen. Can I sign it to make life easier?

Might is not good enough, so they are allowed unless u know there is something forbidden.
