Exploring Off-Campus Living
Off-Campus Living is dedicated to providing University of Pittsburgh students with the necessary information and tools to successfully reside in off-campus accommodations. We provide an informative Renters’ Guide, apartment listings and neighborhood descriptions, and a roommate and subletting service, as well as other useful tips and contact information to assist you in your role as tenant.
Practical Guides
Off-Campus Living at the University of Pittsburgh provides useful guidelines that assist you with finding appropriate off-campus accommodations and transitioning to your role as tenant:
Off-Campus Living Essentials
Timing is Everything
When looking for off-campus accommodations, timing is key. Summer is for relaxing, so start the apartment search process now by using the information provided by this Web site and you’ll sure to find suitable accommodations for fall!
University-Owned Apartments
Applications for University-owned apartments are accepted by Off-Campus Living, beginning the second Monday in January on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to an overwhelming response, we are no longer accepting applications for Fall 2010-2011.
Lease Review
This 2008-09 academic year, the Chancellor’s Office has funded Pitt Law School’s Community Economic Development Clinic to assist off-campus students with safety concerns. The best safety precaution is to have a lawyer or trained law student review your lease BEFORE you sign it. To make an appointment, call (412) 648-1300.
Landlord Survey
SGB recently sponsored a student survey of area landlords. View the results.
Maintenance
For routine off-campus maintenance, please submit a request online. For emergency repairs, please call the Office of Property Management at 412-624-9900.
