  • Resources and Tips

    When searching for an apartment, start with an idea of what you are able to spend and create a budget that includes rent, utilities, transportation, food, and any other expenses you may have. Next, identify what you will need in order to qualify to rent, rent to buy, or buy an apartment. Most landlords will require a guarantor when you sign a lease.

    One of the best ways to gather information on rentals is to connect with other New School students who are also searching or currently have an open space in their apartment. Posting to your Facebook groups can be helpful in finding rooms for rent or others who are looking for roommates.
