Housing Search Tips

Tenant/Landlord Guide

Finding a great off-campus apartment is an adventure that many of our students look forward to, and most are very successful. MICA’s Office of Residence Life and Off-Campus Housing will provide you with tools, listings, advice, and resources to help you with any problems that might arise while you are living off-campus. However, our office cannot find you an apartment, screen landlords, keep track of your paperwork, pay any rent or fees, sign your lease, or act as a lawyer. Please consider us a resource as you begin your search, but please remember that the adventure of finding and keeping an off-campus apartment is your responsibility.

MICA’s Office of Residence Life and Off-Campus Housing does not screen landlords. However, we do appreciate when students keep in touch with us about their experiences off-campus — both good and bad. When a student seeks our assistance dealing with a troublesome situation — or when a student shares an off-campus success story with us — we will often ask the student to write about the experience and leave this documentation in our office for reference by other students.

Please check these additional resources when finding housing; if you have other resources that have worked for you and it is not listed below, please contact our office to let us know.
