York University maintains a service for those students who require assistance in finding off-campus accommodation. We produce a listing of private and shared accommodation at varying prices located off-campus, which is updated every two weeks (weekly in the month of August due to volume). The listings can be found on the internet by visiting our Web site at http://www.yorku.ca/och/.
You may want to drop by and pick up useful publications: Getting Organized or Frequently Asked Questions. These publications are also available online by going to http://www.yorku.ca/och and clicking on "Publications". Information about public transportation routes and guides, accommodation comparison checklists, apartment checklists, updates on the Landlord Protection Act, tenants' rights and other related matters are available from the Off-Campus Housing Office.
Landlords are invited to leave descriptions of rental units with this service by telephoning 416-736-5141; a listing fee of $20 is charged to landlords ($10 for York students with ID; student must come in person to receive the $10 rate).
