University employees do not inspect, approve or supervise the premises described, nor does the University become party to housemate/subletter/landlord/tenant matters.

The OCC Office also provides a legal clinic for students living off campus who are in need of consultation with a lawyer.

Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free, online classified advertisements. These posts are not inspected or checked before they are posted. It is very important to exercise caution when renting apartments on Craigslist.

Never, under any circumstances, wire money at the request of any prospective “landlord” via Western Union, MoneyGram, or any other wire service. Even if they tell you to wire the funds to a friend or relative’s name “to be safe,” this will be a scam. Never send a scan of your passport or other ID. Thieves will use your identity to scam others.

Be suspicious if the deal sounds too good to be true. Scammers will often list a rental for a very low price to lure in victims. Find out how comparable listings are priced, and if the rental comes in suspiciously low, walk away.

Student cultural associations

Student cultural associations may be able to give you information about housing available in the Greater �������� area. It is generally up to you to find your own housing. Some associations are able to offer assistance.
