Housing Options
Apartments:
Several apartment complexes are located close to CSUSB. Most include a living room, kitchen, one or more bedrooms, and one or more bathrooms. When planning your housing budget, consider whether furniture, internet, or utilities are included in the rent. Some apartments offer monthly leases, but most require a 6 or 12-month lease. Always read the lease carefully and ask questions if you’re unsure about any terms or language.
To rent an apartment, you may need to provide documents such as:
- A valid passport
- A state-issued ID or driver’s license
- Proof of financial resources
Houses:
Some students choose to rent houses off campus. These are usually unfurnished and more expensive. Tenants are often responsible for lawn care and maintenance unless otherwise stated in the lease. Most house rentals require a one-year lease.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Visit the property before signing a lease. Visiting does not mean you are required to rent it.
- Read the lease carefully and ask for help if any parts are unclear or confusing.
Understanding the Lease
A lease is a legal agreement between a tenant (you) and a landlord (the property owner or manager). It outlines the rent amount, lease duration, and responsibilities of both parties.
- Most leases are for 6 or 12 months. If you leave early, you may still have to pay rent for the remainder of the term.
- Some leases include utilities or furniture—others do not. Always confirm what's included.
- Ask for all agreements in writing and keep copies of everything you sign.
