Off-Campus Life has the resources you need to get your properties rented!
Off-Campus Life at Colorado State University would like to invite you to participate in their 25th annual Housing Fair on Wednesday, March 2, 2011, from 9:00am until 4:00pm, in the Lory Student Center Main Ballroom. The Fair is an event designed to help students at Colorado State University find housing for next year and help landlords like you fill their rentals. Landlords, property managers, realtors, and other companies related to the housing industry will have booth displays and helpful information to share about their services. Traditionally, over 2,500 students have attended the Housing Fair seeking information about various housing options. This is a once-a-year opportunity for you to connect with students and inform them about your property. For more information and to register click here.
Off-Campus Life also provides a free online rental listing service where you can post your rental. This site allows you to post the specifics of the property, pictures, lease term, etc. It is targeted exclusively to CSU students and is perfect for a free, quick and easy way to advertise your vacant rental. Create an account and post your listing here.

Question for Those Who Rent to CSU Students
As you may know, CSU students who get a noise violation ticket in Fort Collins are required to attend a Party Partners class. The class is team-taught by Student Conduct staff, City staff, and Fort Collins police officers. The goal of the class is to provide solid information to students on how to be a good neighbor and how to host a responsible party both for their safety and for the peace and quiet of the neighborhood!
We have had some interest from landlords in having their tenants attend even without a noise ticket. One landlord was willing to offer a discounted security deposit. If you are interested in having your tenant attend, please contact Melissa Emerson at 491-7771 or memerson@colostate.edu for a current class schedule.
