Housing Resource Disclaimer & Safety Guidance

Important Disclaimer
The listings and links provided on this page are offered for your convenience as resources only. Our organization does not endorse, guarantee, or vet every property, landlord, roommate, or host. By listing these options, we are not making any warranties about the safety, legality, or quality of the housing. Use of any housing provider is at your own risk, and you are responsible for doing your own due diligence.

Safety Guidelines & Best Practices
To reduce risks and make informed decisions, we strongly encourage you to follow these safety steps when considering off-campus housing:

1. Visit in Person (or Virtually): Always try to tour the space before making any payment. If you cannot visit in person, request a live video walk-through.

2. Verify Ownership: Ask to see proof of ownership or landlord identity. Cross-check public records (e.g., property tax records) or use trusted platforms to confirm.

3. Use a Written Lease: Never rely solely on a verbal agreement. A written lease (or sublease) that outlines rent, utilities, terms, and responsibilities is critical.

4. Read the Lease Carefully: Make sure you understand all lease terms: deposit amount, refund policy, rules for breaking the lease, subletting permissions, and who’s responsible for maintenance.

5. Avoid Up-Front Payment Risks: Be cautious with paying large sums in cash or wiring money. Use traceable payment methods, and don’t pay before signing a lease or verifying the property.

6. Check Your Roommates: If you’re sharing a space, meet or talk with your potential roommates. Ask for references or contact information for their previous landlords.

7. Document the Condition: Before moving in, take photos or video of the entire space (walls, floors, appliances). Do the same when you move out to avoid disputes over security deposits.

8. Know Your Rights: Familiarize yourself with tenant rights for your city/state. Understand laws related to security deposits, eviction, repairs, and your rights as a renter.

9. Get Renter’s Insurance: Consider purchasing renter’s insurance to protect your personal belongings from theft, damage, or liability.

10. Use Trusted Platforms: Wherever possible, use established and reputable housing platforms. Beware of listings that seem “too good to be true.”

11. Share Your Plans: Let a friend or family member know where you will be living. Share contact info for your landlord and roommates, and keep an emergency contact list accessible.

12. Maintain Open Communication: Keep communication with your landlord or property manager in writing (email or text) when possible. Having documentation can help resolve disputes later.

These are suggested precautions, not guarantees. While we aim to provide helpful housing resources, your safety and the legitimacy of any transaction depend on your proactive measures. Always exercise caution and make informed choices.
