Off-campus Permanent Housing Resources
Explore housing options using the resources listed below. We strongly recommend that you see the property before you sign a lease or rental agreement to live there. Remember that you are the customer and the landlord needs to satisfy your needs! Do not feel pressured to signing a lease or a rental agreement.
If you have any concerns about working with a property owner, you can consult with University of Minnesota Student Legal Services.
