This is a VERY interesting legal topic. On-campus I won't wade into, because this is a "school" and there are laws regarding schools that even the Supreme Court made clear may not be subject to the 2nd Amendment, for better or worse.

But for your average everyday citizen's appartment it's not clear to me that the landlord can deny a tenant their 2nd Amendment rights regardless of who owns the property. They can't deny your your 1st Amendment rights in your appartment nor any others. As a tenant the appartment is YOUR home, and the Supreme Court has ruled that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms for self defence in their own homes............. This is very much worth a discussion with an attorney in the state where you plan to live, because as we all know your rights vary from state to state - so much for your "rights" (but that's an entirely different matter......)
