Look for the Preferred Tenant Program badge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before moving off-campus, all students are encouraged to complete the Preferred Tenant Program (PTP)\u2014a free, self-paced rental education course available online through Canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTP equips students with essential knowledge to navigate the rental process and become responsible, informed tenants. Plus, completing the program comes with exclusive benefits! Participating landlords offer incentives such as $250 off your security deposit and\/or 2% off monthly rent<\/strong> (see below for eligible properties).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 51ÁÔÆæ Off-Campus Resource Center is committed to helping students transition smoothly to off-campus living while fostering positive community engagement. Through PTP, we provide up-to-date rental education in collaboration with campus and local partners to ensure you have the resources you need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

  3. Students will feel confident navigating conversations such as with landlords\/ management companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
