The benefits of on-campus housing

For more information about living on-campus, please visit the Office of Student Housing.

Unless you’re dead-set on living off-campus, it is important to keep in mind these benefits to living in on-campus

dormitories:

Proximity to campus buildings—all residence halls are

located in the borough of Manhattan, and most are

just a 5 - 10 minute walk from the Greenwich Campus

buildings.

No long-term agreement—housing contracts are only

for the academic school year. If you plan on going home

for the summer, this could be a convenient option.

Summer housing can be arranged through the Office of

Student Housing and Residence Life. Your New School

housing is open and available during all holidays, as

well as winter and spring break.

Academic support—live in an environment that is

conducive to studying with students who have similar

academic goals of achievement.

Security and Safety—there is a security officer

positioned at the front desk, monitoring each residence

hall 24 hours a day, with live-in hall staff on call every

night for emergencies.

Organized programming—resident advisors create fun

and exciting social and educational events for their

residents.

Community Floors—if you’re passionate about

music, academics, healthy living, going green or have

international interests, you might enjoy living with

others who are just as passionate in working together

to promote your shared interests.

Utilities include - heat, hot water, air conditioning,

cable tv and high speed internet are all included in you

residence stay. Don’t stress about having to pay your

bills.

In house laundry facilities—students have access

to value-card-operated washers and dryers in each

residence.

Furniture included—each dorm room is complete with a

bed, desk, chair, dresser, closet, bookshelf, lighting and

wash basket for each student.

In house gymnasium—most undergraduate residence

halls are outfitted with a gymnasium that is available to

its residents.

Types of Off-Campus Housing 5

BY TIMETemporary Housing and Residences Long-Term Housing

You need a place to survive the first few days or weeks

upon your arrival, while you look for a more permanent

arrangement. If you are an exchange student or scholar

that only plans to stay in New York for one semester or

less, temporary housing is usually the top choice.

Types of temporary housing include: hostels and hotels,

bed and breakfast, student residences and homestay.

These are usually apartments—single occupancy,

shared or a sublet. A lease or an agreement is

conventionally required when renting for a longer term.

You have the choice of searching for housing by yourself

or through a broker.

BY OWNERSHIP

A rented room in a private home is usually furnished with

a bed, desk, chair and sometimes a private bathroom.

Usually you can share the common space, such as the

living room or dining room, as well as the kitchen. But

you will need to check in with the owner prior to using

these spaces, in addition to adapting your lifestyle to

the family or person that you are living with.

Sharing an apartment means that you will be sharing

obligations, rent and bills with the other people who are

also living in the apartment. But as long as your name

is not on the lease, you may be flexible with the length

of your stay.

RENTING A ROOM IN A PRIVATE HOUSE, APARTMENT & RENTING YOUR OWN APARTMENT

SUBLETTING AN APARTMENT

After you rent your own apartment, you may be able

to consider subletting some of the rooms to other

students, if allowed by the landlord, as a signer of the

lease/agreement.Thepersonwhorentsthepremises

that you sublet is called a subtenant. Both the signer

andthesubtenantareobligedtothelease/agreement.

Learn more about your rights and obligations as a prime

tenant or a subtenant.

Types of Off-Campus Housing 6

The International Student Guide to Off-Campus HousingBY LAYOUT

Usually consists of a kitchen, living

area, bathroom and private sleeping

area. It can be a part of a co-op,

condo or house.

STANDARD APARTMENT

STUDIO

Consists of a living area, kitchen and

sleeping area without walls. The

only private area is the bathroom.

LOFTIs more open than a standard

apartment with the kitchen, living

room and dining area completely

integrated; some have physical lofts

on the second floor or located in the

attic. A true loft should be more

spacious than a studio and with

high ceilings.

These are samples only and many apartments are not furnished.

Legal Issues 7

The International Student Guide to Off-Campus HousingGUARANTORSWhat is a guarantor?

Often referred to as a co-signer, a guarantor signs the

lease with the tenant under the assumption that they

have agreed to fulfill all financial responsibilities and

obligations in the event that the tenant fails to pay rent

or violates the lease agreement.

For most students, guarantors are parents, family

members or friends who are currently living in the local

or tri-state area.

How does my guarantor candidate qualify?Before your guarantor can co-sign the lease, they will

have to provide financial documentation that will verify

their income. This could be the most recent tax return,

pay stub, statement of financial worth or a credit check.

Check with your landlord for a list of documents that

you will have to provide.

What if my guarantor changes his/her mind after they sign the lease?Once your guarantor has signed the lease, they are

legally bound to the terms of agreement for the full

duration of the lease.

If the guarantor no longer wants to assume the

responsibilities and obligations of the lease, they must

wait until the lease expires for their role as guarantor

to end.

What if I can’t find a guarantor?If the landlord requires that you find a guarantor and

you are unable to find one, you will have to look for

an apartment elsewhere. This may be a good time

to consider renting a room from a tenant that doesn’t

require you to sign a lease or moving in with a roommate

that already has a guarantor.

Legal Issues 9

The International Student Guide to Off-Campus Housing

BEFORE YOU SIGN A LEASE, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWINGGeneral Obligations

• Howmuchshouldthesecuritydepositbe?(usuallythisisonetotwomonthsrent).

• Whatifyoubreakthelease?

• Istherentgoingtoincreaseafterawhile?

• Usethischecklisttohelpyousortoutyourownconcerns.

WITHOUT A LEASE: MONTH-TO-MONTH TENANTTenants who do not have a lease and pay rent on a monthly basis are called “month-to-month” tenants. In

localities without rent regulations, tenants who stay past the end of a lease are treated as month-to-month

tenantsifthelandlordacceptstheirrent.(RealPropertyLaw§232-c)

A month-to-month tenancy outside New York City may be terminated by either party, by giving at least one month’s

notice before the expiration of the tenancy. For example, if the landlord wants the tenant to move out by November

1st and the rent is due on the first of each month, the landlord must give notice by September 30th. In New York

City, 30 days’ notice is required, rather than one month.

The termination notice need not specify why the landlord seeks possession of the apartment, only that the

landlord elects to terminate the tenancy and that refusal to vacate will lead to eviction proceedings. Such notice

does not automatically allow the landlord to evict the tenant. A landlord may raise the rent of a month-to-month

tenant with the consent of the tenant. If the tenant does not consent, however, the landlord can terminate the

tenancy by giving appropriate notice.

Legal Issues 10

The International Student Guide to Off-Campus HousingLANDLORD OBLIGATIONMaintain the property.

Makeand/orpayfornecessaryrepairs.

Provide notifications in writing when the property is being transferred to a new owner, or when other changes are

made that potentially affect the tenant.

Refrain from turning off utilities in an effort to get unpaid rent or otherwise affect a tenant.

Ensure the premises remain safe and deal with other tenants who are causing a problem or who are violating

the terms and conditions of their lease.

A landlord or manager may enter rented premises while the tenant is living there with-out advance notice ONLY in the case of emergency, such as a fire or serious water leak; or when a tenant gives permission.

APARTMENT SHARINGWith co-tenants

Two or more people signing to rent the same rental unit

under the same lease or agreement are co-tenants.

(Under New York law, a roommate only refers to a

tenant’s immediate family or unrelated occupant, who

is invited by the tenant to live with the tenant without

signingalease).

With sub-tenant

Sharing an apartment with a subtenant who is

temporarily renting the premises that you sublease.

Legal Issues 11

The International Student Guide to Off-Campus HousingSUBLEASEAre you going home for the summer, studying abroad

for one semester or leaving before the end of a lease

term?Asubletorsubleaseallows you to temporarily

transfer the obligations of a lease. In this situation, you

are the prime tenant, and the person whom you sublet

your apartment to is the subtenant. A tenant who sub-

leases an apartment is called the prime tenant and the

person temporarily renting the premises is called the

subtenant. Tenants with leases who live in buildings

with four or more apartments have the right to sublet

with the landlord’s advance consent.

PRIME TENANTBe aware that the prime tenant is NOT relieved from

obligations in the original lease during subletting. You

are ultimately responsible if the subtenant defaults on

the rent payment or damages the premises.

THREE STEPS TO SUBLET YOUR APARTMENT(You should ask your landlord prior to signing the lease. )

Send a written request to the landlord by certified mail, return-receipt requested. The request must contain the

followinginformation:(a)thelengthofthesublease;(b)thename,homeandbusinessaddressoftheproposed

subtenant; (c)thereasonforsubletting;(d)thetenant’saddressduringthesublet; (e)thewrittenconsentof

anyco-tenantorguarantor;(f)acopyoftheproposedsubleasetogetherwithacopyofthetenant’sownlease,if

available.

make a decision. Any request for additional information may not be unduly burdensome.

Within30daysafterthemailingofthetenant’srequesttosubletortheadditionalinformationrequestedbythe

landlord, whichever is later, the landlord must send the tenant a notice of consent, or if consent is denied, the

reasons for denial. A landlord’s failure to send this written notice is considered consent to sublet.

For additional requirements applied to rent stabilized tenants, view here.

Legal Issues 12

The International Student Guide to Off-Campus HousingSUBTENANT

REPORT A VIOLATION AND MORE

All the obligations of the original lease become your obligations now. A subtenant has the right to occupy the

rental unit for the length of the sublease whether the prime tenant is living in the rental unit or not.

HOMESTAYWanttoimproveyourEnglish,learnthelocalcultureandforminternationalfriendships?Ahomestay—rentinga

room from a local family, can make for a wonderful and unique experience that fulfills these needs.

Facilities: Living with a host family, you will share the

family public space, such as the kitchen, living room

andbathroom(ifyoudonothaveaprivatebathroom).

Usually students are allowed to use the telephone to

make local calls for free, the internet, watch TV and

do laundry. But make sure you that you receive the

consent from your host before you use these facilities,

and always follow their instructions.

Meals: Some homestays include breakfast and/or

dinner, but this is not always guaranteed.

Host Family: A homestay for many students is a very

memorable experience. Different from simply renting

an apartment, a homestay allows for more interactions

with a local host family. However you should always

follow the guidelines as a guest.

Length of Stay: The length of a homestay varies across

host families. The minimum stay is usually 2 weeks.

Some families are willing to accommodate up to 1 to 2

years. Also see Long Term Housing.

What to expect during a homestay Holiday homestay

One to World provides community visits to upstate

New York and Pennsylvania during traditional American

festivals such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. See

their calendar for this year’s programs.

for housing lists on the internet or even building-by-building. However, when you use a broker’s services you

are subject to paying a broker’s fee, usually 15% of the annual rent if you sign a 1-year lease. Outside of

Manhattan, the fee may be less, typically equal to one month’s rent. Using a local broker in your area of interest

is recommended if you are looking outside of Manhattan.

The International Student Guide to Off-Campus Housing

Walking AroundIf you have an area in mind that you

would like to live in, walking around

the neighborhood of your future

“home” is a great way to explore the

area, gain a better understanding of

the neighborhood and potentially

see advertisements of apartments

or rooms for rent. Many landlords

advertise on the wall or doors of

local stores and/or outside of the

building that is for rent. If you don’t

have time to go in person, ask a

friend if they can go and collect in-

formation for you.

Word of Mouth Avoiding ScamsFamily&Friends:

If you have local friends or relatives,

soliciting their advice can be a

valuable tool in searching for your

future home. Even if you have not

contacted them in 10 years – do

NOT feel embarrassed. Asking

a local resident about housing

options, transportation and safety

of a neighborhood, is a great way

to receive first-hand information.

These people will not only prove to

be a great resource during your first

days in a new city or country, but

may become an important part of

your network during your stay.

School Advisors, Alumni, National

Students&ScholarsAssociations:

Manystudentsmoveduringwinter/

summer recess. Contacting your

program coordinator and/or other

students in your program is often

a shortcut for finding nice and

affordable housing for either a

long-term contract or temporary

sublease.

Deal LOCALLY, and always meet the

landlord or agent in person.

NEVER wire funds via a wire service.

Be careful about who prefers a cash

deposit rather than a check before

you move in.

Cashing a check leaves a trail.

Unless you marked the money,

someone can disappear right away

with cash and never be heard from

again.

Do NOT give out financial

information (bank account number,

socialsecuritynumber,eBay/PayPal

infoetc.)

Do NOT submit credit or background

checks to the landlord or agent until

you meet them in person.

Always see the interior before you

rent the apartment.

If the deal seems too good to be

true, it probably is.

UtilitiesSometimes the rent already includes all or part of the following utility cost; other times you will have to pay your

own bills. In the second situation, either your landlord will charge you according to the bills under their account

name, which is common particularly when you rent a room in a private house; or more often, you will need to set

up your own account. Ask your landlord about which companies provide utilities to your area.
