To Create a Listing Complete the Following 3 Steps:

Step 1

Obtain a Rental Permit

To ensure the safety and well-being of our students, the University's policy is to only list units that have been officially certified in their respective townships.

You can apply for a rental permit through your respective town or village.
- Brookhaven
- Islip
- Smithtown*
*Certain townships, such as Smithtown, do not issue rental permits. If your rental is located in Smithtown, you are not eligible to list on our site.

Additionally, we do not accept documentation from private inspectors.

Step 2

Submit Rental Information Form

Information Form

The information you share through this form will be displayed on your listing accordingly. Be prepared to submit images of your rental and a copy of your permit.

You can post up to four images of your rental.

We encourage you to provide images that best showcase the space as it aids viewers in their search for the right place to call home.

Step 3

Payment

Once all of your information has been received by our office, you will receive an email with a link to the payment process on PayPal.

PayPal is a secure and fast forum for online payments.

There is no additional charge to the $45 fee for paying via PayPal.
We accept money orders or cash as an alternative to the online payment. Checks are not accepted as a valid form of payment for the rental listing service.

Please note: PayPal is the fastest payment option. Choosing any other option slows down the listing process.

Upon the full completion of these 3 steps you will receive a confirmation email from our office. The email will include the notification of your listing's start date, expiration date and a sreenshot of your listing.
