All the Answers You Need About Student Housing
What lease length do I need?
Some students sign a lease for the academic year, while others — particularly international students — need a 12-month lease. You can also find student housing for a single semester, shown as a “short stay” in our filters.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most off-campus student housing requires a guarantor or cosigner if you don’t have steady income, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student housing?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a security deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your lease as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What utilities are included in my rent?
Many student housing communities include utilities such as electricity, water, and internet in the rent; others cap them or bill separately — check your lease.
What is purpose-built student housing?
Purpose-built student housing is a residential community designed for students. It is often located close to campus, boasts modern facilities, often includes utilities, and often has staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student housing be furnished?
Some student housing comes fully furnished, while others may be partially furnished or unfurnished. Furnished rooms typically include essentials such as a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair, but what’s provided can vary. Check the individual property details or contact the housing provider to confirm exactly what’s included before you move in.
