Off-Campus Housing Key Steps & Documents

Proof of Enrollment

Proof of Enrollment is a verification of your student status. You can request an academic enrollment verification letter from the International Students & Scholars office.

Proof of Financial Responsibility

Proof of Financial Responsibility is a verification of your ability to pay rent. You may need to submit a bank statement, scholarship award letter, or financial aid information.

Identification Documents

Identification documents are required to confirm your identity as an international student. You will need to provide a copy of your passport and visa, and in some location, your I-20.

SSN/ITIN Requirements

While rental applications often ask for a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), they are not always required for international students. You will need to complete the application with your personal information and references. 

Rental Application

The rental application is a formal request to rent a unit; this application determines your eligibility. You will need to complete the application by providing your personal information and a list of references.

Proof of Income

Proof of income shows you have financial stability to pay rent. You can provide pay stubs, a bank statement with a sufficient balance, or a housing allowance letter from a sponsoring organization.

Guarantor or Co-Signer

A guarantor or co-signer agrees to be financially responsible for your lease. This is often requested by landlords if there is a lack of U.S. credit history.
