‘See It Before You Sign It’ 

Before you sign a lease, make sure you have a good walk through of the home and understand your rights. Take your time when finding a home and always make sure all the fire safety requirements are met before moving in. 

Off Campus Housing

 Every fall, parents help their children move into off-campus houses and apartments.  And so often, this is the first time that the parents have seen where their children will be living.

What’s important to your son or daughter when it comes to picking off-campus housing might not include things such as smoke alarms or two ways out. Before a lease gets signed, whether you are a co-signer or not, help your child make a fire safe – fire smart choice,  ‘See It Before You Sign It.’  If you can’t do it in person, have them give you a virtual tour.
