FAQ
It’s simple and direct. Click the "Send Request to Landlord" button on this page. Your inquiry goes straight to the property management team. They will contact you to arrange a viewing (virtual or in-person) and send you the lease agreement. No middleman, no booking fees.
Policies vary by building, but most student housing properties (PBSA) include high-speed Wi-Fi and water in the monthly rent. Electricity and heating are sometimes billed separately based on usage. Please check the "Amenities" section above for the specific inclusions for this unit.
If you are a student without a regular monthly income (or an international student without a local credit history), most landlords will require a Guarantor (a parent or guardian who agrees to pay rent if you cannot) or an upfront payment of rent installments. You can discuss these options directly with the landlord after you send your inquiry.
Most listings on ULodging, including this one, come fully furnished with student essentials (bed, desk, chair, wardrobe). Some units may also offer "linen packs" or kitchen kits for an extra fee. Check the listing description to see exactly what is provided.
Absolutely. If you are applying for a multi-bedroom unit (like a 2x1 or 4x2), let the landlord know in the "Message" box when you submit your inquiry. List the names of the friends you want to live with so the management team can try to place you in the same unit.
