While our office has many resources, contacts, and tips for our students’ off-campus housing search, our staff are not able to act as brokers or case managers who are typically available for everything from recommendations, to lease signing, to moving help. A service like this could be provided through companies like .

As a public institution, we must refrain from endorsing or discouraging business with private rental companies however, we are happy to provide tips on what to be mindful of when conducting your housing research. Some of these tips can include:

1. Read a variety of reviews: look at online reviews from multiple sources to determine if there are current and on-going themes to concerns or compliments with the property owners or managers.
2. Ask your peers: Ask other CU students what their experience has been living off campus and what their recommendations would be.
3. Check out the space in person or through live/recently recorded video of the interior and exterior space you are interested in renting
4. Get a lease review: Make an appointment with our free attorney for his advice and feedback on the lease for your potential rental.

While the term “affordable” can mean different things to different people, we can assist in narrowing down options that are likely to offer rent that is on the lower end of the market or tips on how to reduce rent (like living with roommates or sharing bedrooms). We can also provide information on city and county resources. Keep in mind that many government-sponsored resources for affordable housing prioritize the elderly, the disabled, and/or families with children. Monthly income minimums may also be required.

Subleasing can be more challenging during certain seasons (finding a subletter for the summer months can be difficult due to more people leaving 91������ vs entering) but we can suggest some ways to improve your process.

1. Make sure you understand what your lease says about subletting. Some landlords may have very specific guidelines for how you can sublet.
2. See how your landlord or property manager could assist in locating a subletter.
3. Post your sublease on for free
4. Check out the Roommates tab on Ralphie’s List to find people that may be looking for a place to live with roommates so you can reach out to them
5. Look at online groups outside of the university. While Facebook or other online groups may be less secure than Ralphie’s list, which is only accessible by CU students, faculty and staff, you may be able to reach a broader audience through different websites.

When students get complaints, it is typically for a few reasons:

1. Lack of knowledge around��how local ordinances function. Our office can provide tons of information on the ordinance’s students tend to violate
2. Lack of communication with neighbors. Students might not realize that they have��non-student neighbors or that their student neighbors have a similar lifestyle. An important thing to remember when living off-campus is that you will be living near many non-student
